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.
I'm working on some new scenes in my predraft of Ghosty book, as well as brainstorming ideas for the plot of my illustrated MG. FUN times. Also, I've been here 3 weeks and this is my second sinus infection, because the UK either hates me, or wants to make sure I stay indoors to work on my books. :)
I probably won't be back to chat, as my kids are still awake and it's dinner time, but good luck to you!!
I think it wants you to work on books. So good to see you today, Marisa. I sent out my second draft to Th-Th this morning. Woo-Hoo! And I guess I will plan a class or see what else wants work...
Thanks for luck! Miss you! So glad you checked in even if you can't chat!
