The attendance in Wordsmith Chat is declining. In this past chat there were only
about a dozen attendees. Not sure what might be the reason. I wonder if people find
that the guests are not interesting. Should different topics be chosen?
I wonder if the format doesn't work -- if the wait while the guest is typing
an answer too much?

Suggestions, comments, brainstorms?

Anyway, as an experiment, for the next chat I've invited someone from a
completely different field. It's a medical doctor from Mumbai who started
laughter yoga movement which is spreading all over. There are laughter clubs
where people meet just to laugh. I've participated in a few here and
in India and I really enjoyed them.
