• 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.

What I found particularly useful was no 6. Lucinda Coxon on Truth’s Relativity and Killing Darlings where she talks about works based on reality, which I do; she brings out the difference between facts and truth, and sometimes to make it truthful you have to leave out some facts. You can't imagine how useful that is to my present WIP on demons. And yes, there is a relief in the DELETE button. Spot on @Barbara
