no-skips november day 11
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.
I have a hard time posting midis on here. That’s the thing about having an inconsistent posting schedule: the puzzles you *do* post feel like they have to be “worth the wait” somehow. I don’t know if that’s actually true—generally my life improves when I shed such arbitrary standards for myself—but who knows! I’d like to think that when you can’t get a pizza, a pizza bagel can hit the spot. What do you think?
Hopefully my new computer arrives today or tomorrow so I can get back to business as usual. Thank you to everybody expecting work from me for your patience! The only reason I’ve been able to keep the blog posts going is because I prepared a lot of grids ahead of time and I’m able to post them quickly at the library. I’ll hopefully be back to constructing new stuff shortly.
Enjoy the puz! Also: feel free to share the link, comment below if you like the puzzle, and check out my Patreon!
