• 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…

    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.

Crazy Little Ditty

I am an Author, tried and true.
I might not be published, but I ain’t blue.
I can do that myself, it’s true, it’s true.
I have books, I have books,
and I wrote them too.

We are the front line,
of every story.
We seem to go unnoticed sometimes,
but don’t get blue.

Times they say are changing,
gads, ain’t that true!
But we will match on,
and still write the words so true.

Even our fiction speaks loudly,
you can’t have a story without us.
Cause we write the words that no-one else can,
cause we are the Authors, we are the Authors.

When imagination was handed out,
we wrote the story that said it was true.
Even our fiction comes first,
cause we invent the words that ring true.

So when you want a story,
a taste of good ol’ imagination,
you need us,
cause not every silly bugger can write those words,
those words that say imagination is fine and dandy.
Ain’t that true.
