• 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.

One for you @Jonny

I've been playing around with the Just The Punctuation tool to see how my writing looks when all the words are removed to leave only the punctuation. I was curious to see if my punctuation style differed depending on what POV I wrote in or what tense. As it turns out, there's not much difference (though I've yet to test whether there's any difference when I'm writing non-fiction/blogging compared to my creative stuff).

What do yours look like?
