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!
I'm here! I'll be starting on my 2k, then after that (probably later in the morning) I'll be reading Krystey's short story! Woo hoo!
My not-set-in-stone goal for today is 5k words (no allergies today, so I need to get as many words in as humanly possible!!) And HURRAY both my kids have a play date this afternoon!! WOOOO!
I'm here too! Slow and steady that is me. I will be continuing got 1000 this morn. Hope to get 1000 more now. My goal is 2500 (as it is for everyday, but tomorrow and Friday will be a beast for me).
Looking forward to Krystey's short story today too. My daughter is home sick so reading may be in order.
Hey, ladies. No story time today, so I'm going to get started on the novel I'm critting. Hopefully, Small Child will allow me to make it for the unplugged. =)
Sounds like you two are doing great with NaNo so far. Awesome!

I suppose it's time I make an appearance before you all assume the worst.
ReplyDeleteHeather pep-talked me this AM and I am re-pumped about NaNo. Word count: 2876.
Oh, and Matt and Kim released their new album yesterday. Perfect timing!!
ReplyDeleteRe-pumped? Jon, I didn't know you were ever not pumped!! It's meant to be fun! Go! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, very deflated. Sunday was rough, Monday was a bust and yesterday... well, I don't even remember yesterday.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you, J. I have been fretting about you. Yay, Heather (for the pep talk). Hope to see you back here, Krystey! See you all in an hour.
