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? Tell us in the comments.
Good luck, Krystey!! You've inspired me to start setting word counts again. I used to do 1k a day, back in the winter... it was when I stopped that my production went down... You're inspiring!
I'm finishing turning my hard copy crit into typed crit!
ReplyDeleteUGGG, I am sorry, Marisa!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be here for the beginning at least--maybe for the chat too.
Do you now get emails about when people sign in, M? Do you want that?
What are you sorry about?!?! I like it because I can listen to any music I want and it wont affect my writing. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was going to change the email notifications. (they've been filling my inbox)
I'm here. Will be starting my word count for the day. Sigh. I'm so behind.
