• 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.

LiNoWriMo Litopia Novel Writing Month (LiMoWriMo)

The Colony's Own NaNoWriMo!
After not writing at all on Sunday, I added 3k words to pass the 20k mark today - I'm back!

Having spent the last couple of months mostly editing, I needed a prod to get back to the foundational, fun stuff. A lot of it is a bit pedestrian, some is really just placeholder material, but I have some phrases and passages that soar... I'm so delighted this has been set up. Thank you.
 
1,112 words yesterday. Now up to 4.8k total this month!

I'm off the wagon for a few days... nothing yesterday, today, and probably not tomorrow either. I've got a nice quiet weekend coming up, and hopefully I'll be able to make some real progress.
 
Wasn't planning on that. 5500 words since Nov 1. Sitting on about 32,000. Liking it a lot. four or five chapters to go. Unless, hmmm, middle grade, is there a need for a denouement?

I think so, and I'm writing middle grade this time too. Think Harry Potter - Sorcerer/Philosopher's stone ends in the hospital where everything wraps up.
