• 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.

I can't find the actual article but I read in the metro today about an 11 year old who has opened his own sweet shop based upon characters from his book. He's earning £1k a week and looking for a publisher for his book. Talk about starting early :eek:
The only thing on my mind at that age was playing with Barbie dolls.

That was when I wrote my first 'book,' if you can call it that — about 30 pages of "Jason Byrne Going on Super-Awesome Adventures with Link from Zelda."
Insane to think he's already thinking about publishing... I didn't for another eighteen years...
