• 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.

Welcome… I’m New Here! The Loneliest Chapter of my Writing Career (help a new girl out)

Aw, everybody says that. And that'sthe beauty of this. It's about the optics. It's reality TV. They want young people.

If your favorite songs are a clue...you've lived enough to have something to say, You have a young daughter. She may be a mother someday .Seriously, what does she need to to know about that journey to and through motherhood? Memoirs have evolved. They dont mean what yu think they mean.
If I write a memoir at this point in my life, people will think I'm going into politics. GAWSH, I really don't want people to think that.

I will reconsider in ten or twenty years. For now, I want my three kids to learn from what I've done and am doing, not what I said I've done. Y'know? And I think I can make more of an impact right now through fiction than I can through a memoir.

But if young daughter is anything like me, she won't want to be a mother. Ever. There's lots of other journeys to know/escape into.

OK. The point being that if yu want to get published in this day it helps have to stand out in some way. Blogging, competition, reality TV. That's one reason Pete started the blogging feature on here that will be on all social medias. And then there's adventure. Two weeks in Peru all expenses paid with a chance to do nothing but write everyday....

Or you might meet Paddington and have a very grand adventure.
