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? Tell us in the comments!!
Oh no, Tina, I'm saving your comments and whatever revisions they'll give me until I'm done. I cut point B ages ago, which is why it's been taking me so long to get to the end!!
My problem is that I cut point B be cause I wanted to get to C more quickly, but now I have all new stuff that has to happen, and I'm afraid I'm writing too dang much!! I should re-title this as "The Never-freakin'-Ending Story" (not to be confused with The Never Ending Story, of course)
I am slogging through. My last draft had points A, B, and C... and after deleting point B, I need to figure out a new way to get to C. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAm I messing with you, Marisa? I want to help!!!! But I am totally convinced that you can do it.
ReplyDeleteI have deleted a bunch of stuff of my own and have to figure out my way back through as well.

Haha! No matter. I am ready and willing to read it all and more than once. So just write it, Girlie. Not to worry!
ReplyDeleteThanks, T!
