• 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.

1. Your first thought is never your best thought. It’s just your first.

2. Most of your ideas are banal. Dig deeper.

3. Go and find things out. Make a fetish of research. Most of the things worth hearing aren’t already sitting in your head.

4. Stop bothering people with your early drafts. Bother yourself with your early drafts.

5. Work every day. It’s not an amateur’s game.
