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!

Post 1: Unpluggage Begins 3 pm eastern
Special extended unplug! Let us know what you will be working on in the comments.
Here!! I'm not sure what I'll be doing. Either trimming out the stuff I just worked on, or foraging a scene ahead of where I am b/c I'm not sure how this scene ends, but I know how the next begins... boo, I hate being unsure. I just took an epiphany shower - it did not help, alas!
Work your hearts out!!! I'm looking forward to chat, Amy, to ask you what muster duty is. Marisa, jump ahead and then go backwards - that is supposed to work in screenplays. See you both in an hour and 15 minutes. (oops, I accidently posted this on post 2 first.
I am here. going to eat something now and then get cracking on polar bears.
ReplyDeleteHere. Have to finish up these forms for muster duty before I can write. One more year and I'm totally free from the AF.
