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!

  2. Marisa, It will be interesting to see what taking a couple days off brings.

    I have to get my bearings today. I feel like I am lost.I haven't been working on any particular writing projects (fiction-wise) but my head has been all over the map and I actually have been doing a bunch of sort of focussed writing on philosophical stuff. I need to make myself a list and see where I am at.

  3. Hi! I'm moving on to chapter 15. This is a total blank space right now, so I have a lot of work to do.

  4. :) Interesting, indeed. Hopefully well, but my head is still fuzzy so we'll see if I even make sense.

  5. Hey, I'm revising, but my lunch break is at 12, so I won't be here to chat. Happy writing, everyone!

  6. Hey Maria! Good luck with the foray into the unknown!

    Marisa, I hear you! Feel free to write lots of nonsensical garbage. I think I will try to do that too.

    Krystey! Yay, you're writing. Boo to not chatting. Say hi to small child....

    Off we go.
