• 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.

"Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it."

Things is I don't want control. I like that readers spark off into all kinds of interpretations. I look for readers who can do that. Controlled is just another trope for me. One reason I hate Hemingway. He's just so damn controlling.
