• 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.

Just joined Litopia. Short story writer from Britain living in Tokyo. Ended 2016 with a spate of rejections, but what the hell, another year!
 
Hello :) Ah, those adorable little rejections. May this be your year. What kind of short stories?
 
Hi Ian. I'm a fledgling too, just joined earlier this week. Welcome! What are you hoping for here?

No particular genre, though quite a few are travel related. Japan is a source of inspiration. Living in a culture where things are quite different makes you observant and when I go back to Britain I always feel like I am looking in from outside, which is good for writing.

I think just to share experiences, writing markets, not feel like I am the only one struggling to get published.
