• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I've just joined up. Looks like a great place to network. I am looking to hone my skills as a writer. At the moment, I love to write picture books and mind, body & spirit books. I have several completed manuscripts that I would love to see published.

I have worked as a nurse, a business owner, a sales rep for a toy company, and a freelance writer for the magazine Photoshop Creative. I currently work in a school library and sell my artworks through POD websites.

My picture book, ‘What Are You Doing?’ won first place in the 2009, CYA Writing & Illustrating Competition – Brisbane Writer’s Festival and I have self-published a series of children’s picture books for the scrapbooking industry.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Wishing you all a smiley day.
Pam :)

Super-belated hello Pam! How have you been? You'll pick up a lot of new ideas here — glad to add a writer of picture books and mind/body/spirit to our ranks finally!

Welcome Pam. I lived south of Brisbane for a couple of years. Not many agents in Oz, hope you find what you want and enjoy the journey.

Did I ever tell you that I did a reverse Ground Hog Day when I moved here? Instead of reliving Groundhog Day over and over again like in the movie, I skipped the day entirely. Weird...The good think about it is that when I forget someone's birthday (which I ALWAYS do...don't even remember my own most years), I can sometimes still wish them a happy birthday on time, because of the time difference.

I have every respect for those with the chops to handle temporal relocation — that's a tough business.
