• 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.

Hello,

I'm entirely new to all of this. I'm an avid reader but have never attempted to write anything. My focus over the last several years has been my daughter, who will be leaving us soon to attend UNC in the Fall. I guess you could say I'm trying to reinvent myself a little bit. As you'll see, I need a lot of help but will be happy to return the favor once I have a better handle on what I'm doing. I look forward to the prospect of developing some new relationships along the way!

Kindest regards,

Lance

Aloha and welcome, Sir Lance (lot)... :D This is a great community. We're all in this together. Just take a breath, and write something, anything.
