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!
Okay, I have only accomplished house cleaning stuff, which is great, but doesn't help me get closer to the end of my MS. Except I'm at one of those moving words around one by one scenes and it's SLOOOOOW. Lame.
YAY, TPR! I'm ready for a good week, how 'bout you?
Yay, TPR! Yes! Ready! For a good week and then some. I am about 1500 words behind my NaNo goal after a disconcertingly busy weekend (volunteering, canning, jewish learning and birthdays -all worthy things and yet - WAH!) I am also at a kind or blank space in my manuscript. so I may try to sketch it forward and I am at the reaction part of sequel which may also be why it seems slow right now. And not quite sure about the next character and the dilemma, so yeah, let's get this week rolling!
I am ready to get some writing done too. I'm meeting people at the library, so I'm hoping to be there by 11 to unplug. Woo-hoo!! I'll see you guys at 12!
So glad to see you two! H, are your friends gonna chat too? J, I wish I had a slogan like that. The first thing that popped into my head: I'm here. I drink beer. I'm writing. Not quite as good I think.
Here!!

ReplyDeleteSee you all in an hour.
Hi, Maria!
