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: Unpluggage begins at 11 am (est)
What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments.
Haha, I'm so ditzy today. I've been sitting here waiting for the first post... but forgot that *I* was the one who was supposed to post it! :D
Okay, on with my goal - I am... not sure what I'll be doing. I have a lot of crit to read through and some stories by others to crit, so I might be doing that today.
I def cant be here for the chat because my daughter has a doctor appointment, but thankfully you remembered to post or I would have forgotten. So I guess I am ditzy myself. When you posted, I got to wondering why I thought I couldn't make this TPR and then voila, remembered dr's appt. Thank goodness. I am going to write a little crit narrative for the first part! So perhaps we can crit together.
Hello! I'll be working on revising my query, and if I get that done, some critiques. Small Child is very active this morning, so I'll have to wait for nap time to work on my WIP.
