Need structure? Want to find camaraderie? Tired of writing in solitude? Join our virtual office space. At TPR someone is always in the cubicle next to you.
Here's how the practice room works:
First of all, EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
At the given date and time (weekly schedule posted below), meet at post 1. It appears 30 minutes in advance of the hour (barring unusual circumstances), giving us a chance to set our goals in the comments. Declare your goal. Work toward furthering your project; word counting, revision, or whatever it needs - you decide.
Post 2:WE ARE UNPLUGGED!announces our hour. During that time, we write! The rules: no procrastinations. Please feel free to make tea or stand on your head as needed.
When the time is up,Post 3 appears with a chat box and we will get a chance to converse, or you can comment old-style to tell us what you got done! We are dying to know!
Read about a typical first time here. I make the schedule every Sunday. It will remain up in the side bar until I post the next week's schedule (feel free to make requests for particular times in the comments - I take them into serious consideration). All additions will be noted in in the side bar. Come back and check it often. (The schedule times are listed in Eastern Time Zone but the blog posts in Central - Tina's time zone. Our visitors are from all over the map.)
Please email me with questions, comments, or just to introduce yourself! tina dot laurel at gmail dot com
Don't forget to sign the guestbook at the bottom of the page!

Post 1: Unpluggage Begins 8 pm eastern
What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments!
Hello! I've got my family fed and all I have to worry about is keeping my kids from eachothers throats... I finally got some feed back on chp 24 and will be working on revising it. The first part is a little confusing and needs to be described a little better... Regretting the extra personalities >.<
Hello, everybody! Did you all have a good Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteI will be trying to break through my "block" and try chapter 3 of my unstable WIP. The worst that can happen is that it will suck, right?
Hey, Dianne. I saw We Hear the Dead at Books a Million this weekend. So exciting. =)
ReplyDeleteI'll be working plotting my new novel. Selkies. Ooh. After Big Bang Theory if it's new.
Hi Dianne!! I'm hoping to be here. My kids are proving to be difficult. But then I'm on with the end of my Ch. 1 revisions.
ReplyDeleteHi, Krystey! I'm glad the book is still showing up in book stores!
ReplyDeleteHi, Marisa! My family is being pretty noisy, too. I'm about to get a snack and head for the basement before unpluggage.
