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!
I'm actually here, and writing.
ReplyDeleteHey guys!
ReplyDeleteI'll be working on my second person story and playing around Allen Jacob's POV. Using 2nd person has been difficult, but when it works, it is brilliant. I am looking to create more brilliant moments tonight, and then I'll go back in and fill up the space at a later date.
KATE! How are you??? omg. I haven't seen you in ages.
ReplyDeleteI've been really busy with work for the last few months (traveling a lot and having zero free time) so I've kind of fallen off the edge of the writing planet. Last week my schedule normalized a bit and all my pent up writing energy spilled out in a tidel wave. I'm currently 32k words into a new project that I started last Thursday. So I'll be working on that this evening.
ReplyDeleteI am HERE!!! Let the party begin!
ReplyDeleteAnd dude, Jon. I need you to post a paragraph or something of your 2nd person story because I'm not even sure I know what that means!
I'm gonna try to lay down 2K more words on my YA paranormal rewrite. I so want to be done this baby THIS WEEK.
Here! Spent all day cleaning computers so it will be a relief to get back to writing :) still working on WF. It's nice to meet you Ali and Kate!
ReplyDeleteI've been revising for the last forty minutes and will continue to do so! See you later!
ReplyDeleteALI!
ReplyDeleteI am excited for you to be so close to The End. Congrats!
Did you read YOU by Charles Benoit? He uses 2nd person. It is very difficult, and is probably a waste of my time, but it's so much fun to write. I'll email you an excerpt.
Go AMY! Do not let that computer get you down! Go to candle light and quills if you need to...get it done!
ReplyDeleteKelly, revise away!
Haha! Thanks Jon, but really my compy just needed a little love. Its all happy and purring in my lap as I type :)
