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!
Aw. I finished my draft today. Now, I'm working on was-ectomies and that-ectomies. I also did a word cloud and found a few other words to search for. After that, it's a read through for line edits and one more set of plot/character revisions. Hoepfully, this will be done by Saturday.
Oh no! Hope Gracie is okay and the drama is fodder for future books!
Yay, Krystey. Love your process.
I am canning today. It is hot, hot hot here and I have never done it before and my kids arrive home this hour. So yes I am crazy but oddly excited. I may stop by at chat to let you know how it went!
Ack, sorry I'm late! We've had some kindergartner-got-off-the-school-bus-crying-her-eyes-out drama.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm continuing on with my chapter!

ReplyDeleteHi girls!

Wow, Krystey!! Good luck getting your stuff-ectomies done!
ReplyDeleteYay, Casey you came! Good luck with editing!!
Yay, Casey!
ReplyDeleteTina!! Canning sounds so awesome! What are you canning?
ReplyDeleteGracie and another girl had a Justin-Bieber-loves-me-better fight, apparently. Which makes no sense to me. We don't even listen to JB at home!!
Okay, we are off! See you in an hour! and have fun, Tina!!
