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 today? Tell us in the comments!
I'm reading the last 20 pages of Mockingjay, so there is a major possibility that I wont be about to do anything other than think about it for the hour. We shall see.
wow-ee, you read that fast, M. At leaste you have an idea why he's been so crabby, K. Sorry to hear it though.
I want to work on outlining and brainstorming, but I am going to run to the library first. And the kiddos get home. So again I will try to check in. It should be easier to do than on canning day.
Hey guys. I am here, but we'll see how much actual work I get done--kids are burning off all the uncomfortableness of their first day at school. We're playing a wii-off.

ReplyDeleteGood luck, M. I was depressed for days. I'll try to write but baby is sick. He had 102 fever earlier.
