no-skips november day 26
In 2021, I attempted to post a new crossword everyday in an event I dubbed “NaCroWriMo.” Unfortunately, I was not able to complete this event and, as a result, I have carried that shame ever since. That is until this month.
For every day in November this year, I’m posting a new crossword puzzle in an endeavour I’m now calling “No-Skips November.” Some of these puzzles are themeless, some are themed, some were even constructed before November, but it doesn’t matter: I’m not skipping a single day on this blog. I’m posting a new crossword. Every day. For a month.
This is also an effort to drive subscriptions to my Patreon, which is the best way to support me directly! My Patreon ensures that I’m able to sustain myself financially during months with less puzzle work, so I can spend more time making the puzzles you enjoy. Subscribers get a new themeless puzzle every week, and Inner Circle members typically get an extra 3-4 puzzles per month.
MAVERICK UPDATE: I haven’t written about him in a bit, but he’s still around! This baby is around pretty much every day and has probably befriended more trans people than the average Toronto citizen. (Maverick knows nine.) With Maverick being a regular guest at my place now, I’ve made him a little bed out of a cardboard box and a large plastic bag. I wasn’t sure whether he would actually like it that much, but last night he found it on his own and enjoyed lying in it!
I also realized recently that I’m somewhat allergic to this cat. Unfortunately, my love of cats comes at a price. However, I’m hoping I can adjust myself to being in the presence of a cat so when I get one of my own someday (which I definitely will do), my allergies aren’t the absolute worst. In the meantime, I will suffer for love. As of typing this, Maverick remains curled up on my bed after taking a nap with me. I’ve been having a rough day today, but the cat likes my company :3
Today’s song is only appropriate for today’s blog post:
Enjoy the puz! Also: feel free to share the link, comment below if you like the puzzle, and check out my Patreon!
