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!

What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments.
I'm here. Gotta feed my monsters then I will be working on my chapter. I still have Marisa's chapters to write up but I don't really know what I'm going to write yet. There goes my TPR alarm! Did a blog this morning on our house hunting and worked last night on the new chapter in between the kids nightmares and falling out of bed. Was up most of the night. Happy writing all!
IF I get my bathroom clean in time, then I will be working on finishing reading Amy's chapters and then... um. Not sure. I might sketch valentines.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take to clean a bathroom?! Is it 900 ft2?
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on something from September. Call me crazy.
Wow. Child's difficult today. I'm trying. Revising. Did okay this morning. I've almost got the scene finished and about 300 words done for the day.
ReplyDeleteCrazy and Marisa, Krystey! I am here and writing with my gal friends and then working on a critique.

ReplyDeleteIn an ideal world, Jon, cleaning my bathroom would take 5 minutes. But I have a 3 year old. That changes EVERYTHING.
