Hello, NYT Crossworld! 'm a writer, a proud St. Louisan, and (as of May) a Tulane alum with majors in Theatre and Political Science. I made most of this puzzle backstage during last year's spring show (I hit my cues, I promise)!
This is a fairly new passion for me. Cracking Jim Peredo's January 2020 NYT crossword hooked me in as a newbie solver and sparked my interest in making a puzzle of my own. I thank him for taking the time to keep his ambitious grid clean. Any time I'm tempted to slack off in the fill today, I remind myself of the thrill I felt finishing his puzzle then.
I'm proud of my cleanliness under the rebus constraints, but I wish I'd been able to squeeze in stronger entries (pun intended). INH(AB)IT(AB)LE gave me the symmetry I needed, but it's no SANT(AB)(AB)Y.
Shout-outs to Phil (the perfect "gateway-drug" website for aspiring constructors) and XWord Info (an indispensable resource for me every step of the way). And thank you for checking out my eight-pack!
