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!

What will you be working on? Let us know in comments.
Tina - I hated those forms. We had them when I taught, and then the principal could decide whether or not it was an approved absence. If it wasn't, we had to give the kids 0's for everything we did while they were gone.
Here!! I'm hoping to finish the scene I'm smoothing. and then on to the next!
ReplyDeleteYay! You're here!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at this crazy form I have to fill out to get my kids out of school next week. It makes me feel so anxious. Completely ridiculous.
And I have more words to write. But the story is going great!!!
I'm writing. May or may not be here for the chat.

ReplyDeleteYuck, Tina, how lame. Good luck!! glad to see ya!
ReplyDeleteHere! I'm cleaning the lappy top. Hubz has no clue how to care for a computer. It needs a lil TLC before I can work on it.
ReplyDeleteKB that is exactly what they do at our school. It is so gross and rotten. It makes me sick to may stomach.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I need you to teach me how to care for a computer. :)
Glad we are all writing together!
And we are off! Write, revise, and neaten up! Hope I see you all after.
