• 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…

Found this on the old procrastination station (internet), thought it was worth a share.
I went for it last year – and got absolutely nowhere.

Thank you for sharing, Sarah. I've had this agency on my wishlist, but I wasn't aware of the mentorship program.
