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 11 am eastern

Hey there writers!! We're going to unplug at 11 am EST if you want to join us here at The Practice room! Just leave a comment posting your goal for the hour, then we'll unplug until 12 pm EST.

In Post 3, we'll reconvene with a chat box, so be sure to sign in to Chatroll and please join us! If no one checks in for Post 1 by 11 EST, the reconvention chat in Post 3 will be canceled!

    I have two kids here with me (Gracie is home with an allergy-related sore throat) so idk how much I'll get done. Okay, really, I'm making excuses because my next chapter will be a huge challenge and I don't know where to start with it... We shall see how well I do.

    I'm here. I have a synopsis to edit. Who knows how much I'll get done. The baby is in exploring mode today.

    M - Begin at the beginning, then, when you come to the end, stop.

    I'm here. Battling the kids who are mad because I went out with the girls last night to that taste of home cooking show thats in town. My son has been crying at me for the past 30 min... he's not hungry, or dirty and I gace him his teething stuff. He's had cuddles... I guess he's just mad at me. I want to finish chp 24 today but it looks like I will be cuddling babies instead...
