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 begins at 1 pm
What will you be working on? Let us know in comments.
You can do it, Maria. I totally understand mushy brain. Maybe go for the jugular and really examine the emotion in the mush?? Sometimes that works for me, I read a book that says that that is what your character is experiencing as well. Sometimes there is clarity in that for me.
Okay, off we go. see you in an hour. Interested in hearing whether you got back on track or not.
are we still doing the 1 pm? I'm in if so. focusing on word quantity today, not quality.
ReplyDeleteoh yes we are. That was an early morning mistake. Changing it to say 1 pm. I am here and I suggest a throw down! How many words Maria?
ReplyDeleteI'll shoot for the moon and go for 500. should be able to do more than that in an hour, but the brain is mushy lately.
