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

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. For posterity's sake. If all else fails, please post your report in the comments. 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.

Schedule for the week of Sunday, October 16th
This is a weird week for me. My kids are home for half of it and the other half is crammed with meetings and violin lessons, etc. So it means slim pickin's on the known times for TPR (besides early mornings which are my given). I will try to call some during the week if I can. Or I will try to come to yours if you call them for me.

Chatroll was acting up, and although everybody got a word in there one way or another, nobody got to do much chatting with each other. Hope you all have a great weekend. Good luck with all your endeavors!

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.

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

Maria, Marisa, Amy and myself. Amaris couldn't make it due to troubles with chatroll. Feeling high on ideas. So is Marisa (which means block was broken) and Amy is also full of ideas. Chapter 14 may have played hard to get.
