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 here, but I'm very tired and very stuck, so I don't know what I'll accomplish.

    Oh, no, K! :( Shall we brainstorm in chat? Is there anyway I can help? Maybe you can draw or make a collage over the hour? Take an epiphany shower?

    That sounds like a tough place to be.

    I, on the other hand, am having a good writing day. I turned a corner somewhere around 11 and decided to not go to yoga. I'm writing on through.

    I don't know if I'll be able to chat. I put the baby down almost an hour ago and he's babbling. Sigh. I was hoping he'd take a nice long nap. I tried to wear him out at the park today and only succeeded in wearing myself out.

    Oh KB, I hope you sort things out ASAP!! Good luck to you!!

    For me - UPWARD AND ONWARD! I just knocked 11 pages off a chapter that was too long and tedious. YAY!

    Way to POWER, Tina!!! I can't wait to hear all about it.
