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!

  1. Here!! I thought too hard yesterday and now my brain is exhausted, so I'm just going to be reading. BUT I had a thought break though yesterday, so I won't have to change my favorite scenes after all. YAY. Also, why are the simplest solutions the hardest ones for me to come by? WHY!?

  2. Haha! I totally know what you mean. I can't wait until chat to find out all about it.

    I have someone coming to fix my floor. He is supposed to be here by 11, hopefully he won't interrupt chat (or my writing time, but what can you do?). If I'm a little late that is why.

    I will be working on the polar bears or a blog post. I have a new goal. I want to get about a 3rd in and then pass the draft on to get feedback. Maybe by Friday. Hmmm? Maybe that is possible?
