• 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.

Don't know where I found this site, maybe here??? ... its called 'brainpickings' I would advise all you writers to join up ... its a wonderful resource for writers full of wisdom and general advice from some of the world's greatest writers ... it came to mind after hearing Pat Bertram's pop-up submission on Sunday on Grief ... join up for the weekly newsletter and just have fun following all the hyperlinks here .. I've included two pages from the site here to give a taste ...

Pat you may find some inspiration here ...Screen Shot 2019-01-29 at 17.55.49.png
