Two questions for those who read this blog…

I need your help making a decision

Since I began publishing a newsletter called reluctant sleuth, which is distributed by Substack, I have tended to neglect this blog.

You can take a look at the home page for reluctant sleuth by following this link: https://darrowwoods.substack.com/

(In the world of mystery fiction, a reluctant sleuth is someone, usually not involved in law enforcement, drawn by circumtances into investigating a crime. They almost always have a personal stake in the outcome, and they usually feel overwhelmed, and ill-equipped.)

I started with the idea I’d continue sharing my Sunday “learning times” here, and use Substack to publish the pieces that aren’t so church oriented.

I have published a couple of my Sunday writings in a section of reluctant sleuth called Tiny Pulpit, and discovered that some readers from the mystery world like the sermon-y stuff.

I need to simplify, to focus energies and time on the two novels I have in the works.

To that end, I am considering phasing out this blog, and using reluctant sleuth to share only the “best” of the Sunday material.

    Although I would miss the easy access to this blog, I appreciate you need to streamline the array of platforms and the pressure to provide new material on each one. If I know the links I will find you wherever you sow your words of wisdom and whimsy.

    I will miss this blog but look forward to your writings in the Reluctant Sleuth. Thanks for keeping us inspired with your wise words.
