• 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!
Number of pots washed, a restaurant sink full. No of new muckrakers supervised. One. Number of mobile homes cleared just ahead of the new owners removal. one. Number of bones and beef hearts collected from the butcher. Two bags full. Number of apple/blackberry pies baked from preserves about to go off. One. Number of dilemma's confronted. At least two. No, more than 3. Number of words on the page.... Fuck all.

That's a shit-tonne of productivity though, PJ. And as long as you were thinking about your WIP when you were washing up and/or you can channel the emotion of your dilemmas into your writing, it all counts, right?
 
15,574 words rewritten plus about 1,500 added since the beginning of the month. I should be further along to meet my goals, but work's gotten stressful and busy. Too bad teachers don't get paid overtime, if we did, I'd be making a bunch of money by the end of the month. I should have more time to write, hopefully uninterrupted, tomorrow. Hooray for lazy Sundays!
