<p>I think it's not that we don't care but rather that we get really busy.</p>

<p>Hi I. J.,</p>
<p>Good post. I do check in twice a day, but as Andrew said I only comment if I think I can add something of value.</p>
<p>It is too bad there is not more activity. I think I am familiar with the other sites concerning our genre and none are as good as this one. So I don't know why there isn't more activity.</p>
<p>One thing of interest--I have a story up on Spinetingler about a writer and how he deals with rejection. </p>

<p>Long answer! :)</p>
<p>Good to see you here again, Caroline. In the meantime, another member, Andrew from Manchester, England, has exchanged some mail with me so I wasn't totally deprived. :)</p>
<p>But I'll give a new topic a shot. It doesn't really matter how long they run. They tend to run long only when we argue.</p>

<p>Hello again. Speaking of absentees.... Funny that today I happen to check in, Ingrid, and see your post about inactivity. I don't have any great excuses myself except for being busy at my studio, so I'm not in front of the computer as much as when I'm at home, and we did have a trip in November. Then it was Thanksgiving. Things do get quiet over the holidays. And the "season" has only just begun! Many distractions for a lot of folks. </p>

<p>Hello again. Speaking of absentees.... Funny that today I happen to check in, Ingrid, and see your post about inactivity. I don't have any great excuses myself except for being busy at my studio, so I'm not in front of the computer as much as when I'm at home, and we did have a trip in November. Then it was Thanksgiving. Things do get quiet over the holidays. And the "season" has only just begun! Many distractions for a lot of folks. </p>
<p>Not long ago we had a discussion about the lack of interesting topics. Just to see if I could liven things up I tossed something out, but after a few responses, it ended up "dead in the water" so to speak. At least I think it did. Maybe it wasn't actually that interesting a topic anyway. </p>
<p>Perhaps most of the interesting topics have been discussed over and over again, and have been exhausted? Is that possible? Honestly, I'm having trouble coming up with anything "new" to talk about. At least anything that would generate an ongoing thread. Actually, I haven't even read any "new" mysteries lately---I tend to read the same writers over and over. It's not that I want to talk about particular writers, especially--just ideas. </p>
<p>Of course quite a few people only want to talk writer's shop---and that's OK, since this is a forum for mystery writers, after all---but as a mystery reader I don't have anything useful to contribute to that sort of thread. Well, I tried! :)) </p>
