One goal could be to enter into some kind of joint writing project, or travel to a writers' conference together, or something else they think could enhance their writing efforts.Jean Kavich Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10284678313310561940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-83806565136274671512018-03-22T10:55:09.326-04:002018-03-22T10:55:09.326-04:00Thank you, Mary.

I think your vision for the group is admirable. I hope to attend future meetings, but already know that I'll miss the next one due to two grandchildrens' graduation parties on that same day. I do think established writers tend to think 'why bother', but I've found the interaction a real boost. Plus sometimes it's not about getting, but giving. Allow your ideas time to draw attention and gain member participation. I know it's hard. You all are doing a great job. When I have another year of health behind me, I hope to re-engage and be more active. Meanwhile, you have my applause. Well done.Mary Marie Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140800346217363866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-14352722626977897162018-03-20T12:25:53.967-04:002018-03-20T12:25:53.967-04:00Those are all great suggestions and proves to me j...Those are all great suggestions and proves to me just how steep of a learning curve I am on personally as regards technology! If we can find a member skilled creating live streams or posting videos to the web, it would be great. <br />As for Google Hangouts, I think there's a limit as too how many can participate, but it's something to consider.<br />Thank you, Karen!Linda Sammaritanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456526929807613998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-15223427524472381712018-03-19T01:14:35.703-04:002018-03-19T01:14:35.703-04:00All of these suggestions sound wonderful!

I was disappointed to learn that meetings seem to always happen on 2nd Saturdays when I already have two group meetings. I am still hoping there will be additional meetings specifically for Indianapolis or central Indiana that I might be able to attend. <br />As far as suggestions for future meetings:<br />Perhaps some sort of virtual meeting via Google Hangouts or something similar. <br />Could the meetings be streamed live so those who cannot travel could attend perhaps? <br />Could they be video-taped so we would be able to watch them later if we weren't available to attend that day?<br /><br />I'm still so new to writing Christian Fiction (or any other fiction for that matter) that I would love to gather with a group to learn more about my craft.Karen Beidelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268657813613691753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-49858221065104368462018-03-18T23:10:43.233-04:002018-03-18T23:10:43.233-04:00Answers can be sent as comments right here, or ema...Answers can be sent as comments right here, or email them to acfwindianachapter@gmail.com. <br />Hmmm...I thought I used the link above to post it on our Facebook page.

Also (unless you have and I missed it), could you post a link to this post on the ACFW Indiana Chapter Facebook page so anyone who hasn't signed up to receive Hoosier Ink posts by email will see it there?
