• 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.

Wow, was absolutely blown away by Grass! It felt like undergoing the literary equivalent of hypnotism! You have an extraordinary amount of writing talent, have you written anything long form yet?

Good luck with the novel! At the moment I'm writing middle-grade fiction. I've never written anything in short form (unless you count copywriting, which crushes the soul), and I really must so that I can develop my writing. I couldn't believe it in the Q and A below when it was pointed out that the word count was under 1000, it's a real testament to your skill that your story conveyed so much in so few words. What is your novel about?

Hi, what is middle-grade fiction? Interesting that you begin with something as big as novel - when I feel it's taken me years to work up to the epic amount of input/energy/resilience it requires
