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 11 AM eastern
What will you be working on this morning? Tell us in the comments!
under orders from Jon, I am not going to get immersed into chapter one again as I get back into revising. I am going to try to go forward from where I left off. :) But first I'm going to jump in the shower, because my run from this am is starting to stink... wouldn't want a stinky chat, now would we??
Hi, Marisa! I'm beginning Chapter 22 with a long anticipated (and imagined) conversation. Parts of it are planned in my head already, but I'm hoping to pull it all together this morning and get it down.
Moving forward with my chapter 20! This time I won't worry about length, and just WRITE!
