• 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.

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place for this but i wanted to ask your advice. I am writing a short story which starts essentially at the end of the story and then goes back. The have a *** break in between but am worried the time jump is unclear. Should I put Earlier or something or will this look odd/ amateurish? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. :)
