• 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 am here.

Sorry, I've always wanted to leap into a room that way.

Like many others, I happened upon Peter Cox's Redhammer Management, and followed his advice in coming here, hoping to make friends, give advice and encouragement that might better someone else craft or journey, and maybe even better myself in the process. I sat and watched a while, and I have to say that I have wished to find such a community of which to be a part for a long time. Everyone is so helpful, hopeful, and... creative!

Writing is oftentimes a very cloistered, isolating pursuit. But here, we can meet and speak with people from all over the world, walking the very same path as are we ourselves.

I guess what I'm trying to say is... "Hi. I'm Jason."
 
Thanks Karen. Greeting from this side of the pond. By the way, I really liked your chapter from "Chains of Blood and Steel." The colloquialisms work very well, and your "magic" is handled very smoothly and subtly. It'll get picked up.

Thank you for that little unexpected compliment :) I hope you're right ;)
 
Hello, good evening and welcome! I forget whose catch phrase that was - ah yes David Frost. Enjoy!

A propos of nothing - well, David Frost actually - there is a story that he and Peter Cook met at a party and Frost said to Cook 'I'm holding a drinks evening on Saturday, please join us'.

Says Cook - 'Sorry I can't make it, I'll be watching TV'.

RIP Peter Cook
 
Hi Jason! Welcome to the colony! We are all a little crazy but VERY helpful and supportive!
