• 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.

I've been a member for a little over a month now, and I'm still acquainting myself with the site here. I'm writing my first newsletter for this site and would like to know what the acceptable word count is. Right now, I have mine at just under 1,000 words. If that's too much, I can certainly whittle it down some. What should I do? Thanks!
