• 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.

Hello, pleased to join Litopia. I live between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian Sea where I write historical fiction (mainly) and get homesick for Ireland (sometimes)
 
I'm on the south Kildare/Laois border, I write speculative fiction and MG fiction, and am an artist too :)
 
Hi Katherine!

Gosh, you are in a beautiful part of the world.

But gorgeous landscapes aren't an antidote to homesickness, are they?

That said, living "abroad" can really invigorate the creative spirit... (maybe that's the antidote to homesickness...?)
 
I need a geography lesson: where are the Apuan Alps and where is the Tyrrhenian Sea? They sound like a wonderful Shakesperean concoction (but I'm sure they exist). I live between the M25 motorway and the London Underground railway which doesn't quite have the same ring, but inspiration can come from the strangest places...

Welcome!
