• 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.

You guys know how hard it is for me not to put every celebratory curse word I know in all caps? Those who have read my books more so. Hang on, are we in the Back Room? No.

****! ****! ****! **** **** **** ****** ****** ****** **** **** **** ****, **** **** **** **** ****** **** **** ****** **** ****** ****!!!!

Cough cough

Congratulations, Nicole. Seriously.

Ha! Thank you very much. I'm just going to revel in this all day (and be a little sad about the fact that I can't send it to her until tonight when I can access my MS on my personal computer).

Thanks! I am so ridiculously happy. So much so, I've been taking the time to explain the agenting process to non-writers so I can tell them how excited I am! :p

I loved that feeling too. Am out of it again but completely with you there. You have to share your positive energy if only to stop bursting into pieces :D

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely won't. I have a few agent submissions that are expiring this weekend, so I'll send a few more out to balance it out :)

You know... what people say, when you try to explain anything writing-related to them. Or,
"Hey, that's doesn't sound too hard. So you're just sending out letters?"

Fetch me musket.

I almost spit out my water when she popped up on my screen! Letters? Patak! (Okay, my husband will be really excited I've used so much Klingon today, but I need to stop or I'll start cursing people out loud in Klingon.) I've tried to explain the process so my peeps know it isn't just some silly thing I'm throwing around. Plus they all know I've been working on this for a while bc I've been telling them for a while:p
