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 at 4:30 pm (est)

Hey there writers!! We're going to unplug at 4:30 pm 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 5:30 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 5:30 EST, the reconvention chat in Post 3 will be canceled!

Are you new here? We don't bite! Be sure to say hello!

    Posting this a little early so I can get my kids from the bus stop!

    I finished ch. 2 and will be outlining ch. 3! I'm REALLY excited about this chapter, so hopefully it will go well!

    Looking forward to finishing this fight scene. It has really been a tough one. Dealing with multiple personalities and making them work together in order to defeat the enemy. Feel as if it is my own tushie getting kicked this chapter. Hopefully my kids will allow me time to finish this one today.

    Awesome, Amy! Nothing like a tushie-kicking chapter to keep your writer brain working hard! :D
