• 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.

Thanks for sharing, PJ. I've been in a bit of a slump and needed that. Stanton's story about needing blood transfusions to survive when he was born prematurely hit me. I went through the same thing.
