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 begins at 11 est
Good morning! What will you be working on? Leave a comment.
I haven't written in days. Maybe I'll use the 11 o clock hour to force myself to write something. I won't be here for the chat though. That's my lunch time and I try to be anywhere but the office.
So I kind of missed this unplug...but I'm starting my own unplug now, so I will probably (if I'm good) be too busy dominating to chat with y'all. Hope your unplugs are super profitable and full of domination!
here - reading and writing in the margins.

ReplyDeleteHi, J! Good to see you. I'm here. Finishing up a cover letter and moving on to a class proposal.
ReplyDeleteHey, Krystey!!! Glad you are writing. Enjoy your lunch hour. We will miss you in chat though.
ReplyDeleteHey! I'm writing a newish scene as I replace an oldish scene. And I hit my halfway point in this draft yesterday!! Woo!
ReplyDeleteHere. I'll be working on revisions.
ReplyDeleteyay to half way! Yay to revisions for both of you!
ReplyDeleteHere. I'm STILL on chapter 15, but at least I'm making progress. Just need more TIME.
ReplyDeleteTime is what TPR is all about, Maria! See you all in an hour.
ReplyDeleteSo I kind of missed this unplug...but I'm starting my own unplug now, so I will probably (if I'm good) be too busy dominating to chat with y'all. Hope your unplugs are super profitable and full of domination!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the domination, Amaris!
