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: Unpluggage Begins 8 pm eastern
What will you be working on? Tell us in the comments!
I'll be working on Legasea. I didn't get as much done this afternoon as I wanted. I got my short story to check over for erros. I guess that's coming out soon. Then I got another rejection. I haven't sent out a query in over two months.
But, since I was bragging to KrysteyBelle earlier about the gorgeous weather we've been having, I have naturally brought a storm down upon us. Wind is whipping, rain threatening, etc.
If I don't come back for the chat, assume power is out.
Hi you guys! I'm writing from the future (as my clock now says it's the 12th) and I was just about to finish this scene I'm working on before going to sleep, and took a break long enough to see you here.
Don't think I'll be around to reconvene, so I'll just wish you good luck on your writing tonight.
Bummer about the rejection, KB!! :( I am officially all out of queries to get rejected on, so I know how that feels. Good luck!
Hope the weather turns around for you, D! We have had awful rain here in the UK - had to cancel our plans to Cornwall to see King Arthur's castle because of flooding. :( DANG WEATHER GODS!

Hi, Marisa! So nice to have you join us from the future! ;)
DeleteThat stinks about not getting to see King Arthur's castle. I'd be mad at the weather gods, too!
I'll be working on ch 28.
