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 are you gonna work on? Tell us in the comments.
And as for chat - how about I open it here at 1 for a minute to see if anyone is here, but if not can we meet at gchat? I'll just plan on seeing you there unless we are still here.
Here! I'll be... Not really sure. Reading, I guess!
ReplyDeleteI am here - as always. Finished the book. Loved it. Cried. Will return to working on the letters.
ReplyDeleteAnd the chat is up to you - it seems as if it has been very quiet around here lately. Perhaps the quiet before the storm of NaNo?
YAY, glad you loved that book!! I loved it, too!! Definitely read 13 Reasons Why and If I Stay. And another great one is The Sky is Everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back for chat at about 1:15 - 1:20. I'm not 100% sure what time the bus will drop my kiddo off, but it should be around then.
ReplyDeleteI will read them all for sure for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe are off!

ReplyDeleteI'll try to be here at 1 T. My family left today and I just finished looking at your query.
