• 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.

I know a lot of Litopians help each other, but I'd just like to say a personal thank you to @Karen Gray , who seems to have spent most of the weekend re-formatting my MS / Submission documents and carrying out adverb culls and such like.

I was pretty much ready for dropping this title after several months without a decent bite, but she's breathed a bit of life back into the idea, so I'll give it another go.

Cheers, Karen. My world's nicer with you in it.
 
Yes, huzzahs to Karen. Without you, my ms would have been shelved by now as well. You helped me with despicable grammar and editing, you're my go to gal when I have an idea or problem. Now I just wait for my cover design but perfection takes time ;)
