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: Unplug will begin @ 9:00 est
Happy New Year! Let's sit our butts down in the chair and write! See you at 10!
Hi all! I'm unexpectedly home from work and happy to join in. Morning is not my best writing time, but I'm going to try to plan my next chapter and maybe work on a blog post.
Hi, Suzanne! This was actually posted before our am practice room hour and that unplug has already passed. 9 am est. I don't believe there is one scheduled for tonight. We always have one scheduled for monday evenings at 8 pm by the venerable Dianne and attended by many lovely people :). You could try that sometime. Otherwise what are your daytime hours like? We have many morning hours and some afternoons but I know they are much earlier pacific time zone. I hope you do try sometime! Thanks for visiting and I hope I see you at a session soon.
Morning. I'm here. I'll be answering work phone calls, but in between I'm hoping to read Dianne's latest chapter and get cracking on Legasea.
