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! Just sorting stuff out... I want to progress with my revision, but I'm a little overwhelmed by my book at the moment. Why can't this stinkin' thing revise itself????!!!
I agree, Marisa. I'm having issues. Hence, why I haven't sent it out yet.
I expect the kid to be waking up soon, but I've spent his naptime making notes on a print out to keep me away from the internet. Hopefully, he'll allow me to transcribe those notes. And it won't be so difficult since I won't have to think about it.
I hear you, Marisa! I finally sorted out my computer so I may be able to progress with my revision but I think I need to play today and ground myself. I haven't did my 750 words for the day. I think it is about time. How about you? Maybe some words will help?
Haha, I spent the last couple days handwriting exclusively. That might be my problem... so much great stuff and I'm not sure if it's just unnecessary or if it's what will seam all my characters and threads together. UGH.
Good luck to you two!! I hope to hear nothing but joy and breakthroughs from all of us in chat! *crosses fingers*
Hi there! I'm here. I am handwriting as well. Seems my kids leave my work alone if it's paper and not PC. Otherwise, Bubby like to literally push my buttons.

ReplyDeleteCool, K about the handwriting. Maybe it is time for handwriting, M? That could help.

And as if on cue, he is awake.
ReplyDeleteT, I read it on Elana's blog, no wait she posted it on The League blog, about printing out sections and working on them that way.
Not sure I can provide that, M. I seriously need a pep talk.

ReplyDeleteLucky. Mine firmly believes that any time not spend with him is not a valid use of my time.
ReplyDeleteYes, chat needs to be seriously peppy today. Good writing and can't wait to see you all then.
