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!
Here. I'm working on the PBP. Have identified some parts that need dialog runs. Figure Stephanie Perkins is a good model for that too. She is my go-to-girl of late. I'm going to load the dish washer before I get to work.
Chugging along. I really like the scene I revised yesterday, so hopefully I can keep editing well! Oh man, Tina, me too with the Steph Perkins. I wanna be her when I grow up!
Leagasea. I'm working now, though I'm not sure how long it'll last.

My laptop just restarted without warning. I lost stuff. Not a lot, but sigh.
ReplyDeleteTaking a break from painting my office to get some much needed writing done.
ReplyDeleteAmy, it is so awesome that you're here! I was going to email and demand to know what you were up to. :)
ReplyDeleteKrystey, argh! So unfair. :( I hope it can be reproduced. The time is really the most precious part - I'm sorry.
I hope this hour is productive for all - off we go.
