no-skips november day 13
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.
Several months ago, I was asked to contribute crossword puzzles to the Writer’s Union of Canada magazine Write! Because they’re a union magazine that advocates for writers, they let me keep the rights to my puzzles a month after publication. As a result, all of you get to solve them, too! Every so often I will be posting another of my Write Magazine puzzles on the blog. I’m really proud of them!
This first puzzle is based on one of my favourite poems of all time. As this was for a Canadian publication, expect Canadian spellings in the clues and grid. The puzzle is presented here as it was presented in the magazine. I hope you enjoy!
Enjoy the puz! Also: feel free to share the link, comment below if you like the puzzle, and check out my Patreon!
