• 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.

Lapsed writer, trying to get properly into finishing my WIP and trying to get it out there. Hi to anyone who vaguely recognises me and to all regardless!
Welcome back Michel. You joined before my time- so I don't remember you. However, it's always nice to see someone return.
 
Thanks @RK Wallis, to be honest it's been on hold a while, but I've picked it up again and I'm developing it further. I've aged the main character a little bit and I'm building a little more of his backstory in as well.
 
Hello and thanks all! How's the writing going? I've drafted two new chapters this week and am working on my 3rd. This one's being hard work though.
 
Got it drafted, broke it into two chapters. Concerned they have too much exposition dumping but I need to put it in somewhere.
 
Welcome back, sir. I'm another one of them damned newbies. Nice to meet you.
 
A very warm welcome back to the colony, @Michael C

Nice to have you here. Hope you enjoy Litopia and do get involved as soon as you’re ready to.

This is a good place to check out (How-to guide) to see a lot of what goes on in the colony.

If anything is unclear do please contact me and I’ll be happy to assist if I can.
 
Hope everyone is having a good week so far. I've broken the 30,000 words barrier on the WIP, still at least eight more chapters to draft (might come up with extra story to put in somewhere).

Also, just posted two of my poems in The World Between Words, not done that before.
