Geoff Hall replied to Cheryl's discussion 'Does adding a facet of Christianity into writing alienate people?' in the group Christian Authors"I think it does, because the image of a Christian is not a great one. People think we have an agenda, are trying to proselytise all the time. (As Hans Rookmaaker said, "There are more important things to be done than evangelism!")

Geoff Hall replied to Geoff Hall's discussion 'What software do you use to keep a visual track of plot, characters and events?'"Thanks Scribbler, will check it out.
I've also come across Mindnode, but the free package is a bit too limited for my needs. I'll check out yWriter!
Thanks and Have a great Christmas,

Geoff Hall commented on Authors.com's group 'Fiction Writers'"Me too, but I am a guy! How well is this site monitored for spam? I've had a few of these 'approaches'."
Geoff Hall replied to Brooklynn Macey Derryberry's discussion 'What Do You Do For Ideas When Writing?'"Hi Everyone,
I think there is a danger of making writing a too mechanical a process. For me, here's a personal slant to 'ideas' they always stem from the root of what is dear to me, what am I passionate about, what/where are my…"
Geoff Hall replied to Kay's discussion 'How did you find your way to Authors.com?'"Hi CE,

How did you publish your…"
Geoff Hall replied to Brooklynn Macey Derryberry's discussion 'What Do You Do For Ideas When Writing?'"Hi Brooklyn,

Best Wishes,
Geoff"
