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!

    Okay, I still haven't finished Ch. 3... so. Finishing Ch. 3 is my goal. I hope to make some good progress on Ch. 4 today, so OFF I GO!

    After a couple of days away from writing, I just want to get back into the groove of putting words to processor :P I'll be working on Chapter 24 today. I hope to get at least halfway through today. After such an exciting chapter 23, this one may be a little tough.... I'm not really sure where I'm going to go with it. Marisa, how long are your chapters?

    Hi, T and A and H! Nice to see you today!

    Amy - the ones for this book are LONG. About 25 pages each. but they're complete adventures with a beginning, middle and end. Hopefully my idea of an episodic book will work, but if not, I might have to shorten them all.
