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: Unplug at 2 pm est
What will you work on? Let us know in the comments.
Here!! It's early release day for my kiddo, so I'll be picking her up form the bus stop, but should be able to work for most of the unplug and reconvene. Woo!

ReplyDeleteHey! I'm here too! More businessy work instead of creative writing but it's all good.
ReplyDeleteHow did the morning go? Glad to see my in-box!
Here! Working on some cover art in photoshop and hopefully writing during nap time...
ReplyDeleteI've scrapped my previous WIP draft and am starting from scratch, so there might be some tears involved, but also hopefully some writing.
ReplyDeleteYay to cover art, A!!
ReplyDeleteAnna, :( Good luck. Sometimes crying is the only way ONWARD AND UPWARD. So hard though...
Oh, and off we go!
