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!
Here!! I'm working on my PB story today, since I need to get working on the illustrations for the Dummy book challenge, and I haven't even finished the story!
Here! Working on new Chp. In really great spirits today because an online friend got published :) but I'm exhausted so I don't know how well my brain will be working today... Hopefully the peanut butter helps.
I'm here! Reading my polar bears and taking notes.

ReplyDeleteOh, Tina, I'm sending out the first quarter of Princess hopefully this weekend. A little less than 20k. Did you want to have a crack at it as well.
ReplyDeleteMarisa, that sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteKrystey, Aw, sorry you can't chat. I will do Friday earlier next week. And of course I want a crack at it. I loved The Bridge BTW!
Amy, glad your here. PB always helps! And congrats to your friend! Cool.
Good luck all!
Checking in late, but here indeed. Revising an essay and then sending it off right before the chat.
