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

Hey, all! What will you be working on tonight? Tell us in the comments.
I doubt I'll make it to check-in tonight, because of my daughter's orchestra concert. But I'm hoping to get back in time to work on revisions to my CAGED GRAVES manuscript, and I'll definitely be here for the chat at 9pm.

If there is something I can fix I will do it as quick as I can. And if you just prefer to do it the old school way, in comments, that is fine too.

Be grateful for TPR!!!! I know I am. Thanks to all of you who make it great. And you know who you are (I hope. Do you know? I hope you know. It is definitely you.)
The schedule though is up in the Air. Completely!
Maybe Marisa, Heather or J will call one (and they are free to do so). Or not. But I am up to here with family (my hand is at about heart level) and I am loving it, but I will miss you dear TPRers and my writing terribly. (Dianne is also doing the family/conference/gratitude thing this week.)
Meanwhile power on!

Anna's fast drafting and fast problem solving. We so envy her. Some great Alpha readers. And we left with an image of organized ducks in our heads.
Post 3: Reconvention!
So, do tell! What happened?
A chat box will be here the first 1/2 hour after our unplug. Please sign up (I think you will have to begin an account with Chatroll but it only takes a second). After our chat I will remove the chat box and post the highlights.

Misspellings, typos, and silliness reigned. As did the three rain, rein, reign variations. Rain it! And linger unplugs. And "out there" was condoned.

I would like to try a hangout on Google+ next weekend. I am calling it for Saturday, September 10th. My instinct is to schedule it at 12:30 est. We will do the 25 minute timing Pomodoro style with a 5 minute check in between sessions for as long as people are able to keep at it. As in the past, I will have you RSVP on the schedule post if you want to come and let me know if you need a Google+ invite. I will send out a message to those that RSVPed if the event is a go.
