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 3 pm eastern
What are you gonna work on? Tell us in the comments.
I'm here. Short storying. Not sure if I'll be able to chat much though. The baby may be up by then.
ReplyDeleteHERE!
ReplyDeleteI've been getting my creativity out all morning with drawing, thankfully. Now I'm energized for a read and think session!
Oh, also, if this unplug is extended, I'll make the chat. If not, I'll miss the first 15 or so minutes of chat!
ReplyDeleteKrystey, what do you think of extending the writing time for 15 minutes? Can we reconvene at 4:15 est? That would work well for me!
ReplyDeleteI am revising chapter one for the FINAL tome before querying! I delivered my resume this am. I am srsly close to being ready for NaNo!
It all depends on the baby. I put him down at 2. He's still not asleep yet. We'll see if he's asleep then.
ReplyDeleteHey, for those of you who are querying and haven't seen this post on Mandy Hubbard's blog... check it out!

(I'm posting here so I don't forget it later)
So I will set up Reconvention to post at 4:15 est and we shall hope that baby has gone to sleep and stays asleep so we all can chat.
ReplyDeleteOkay, write, think and sleep your little hearts out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, M.
