The Cruciverbalists

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Kristin and Garrett completed their first New York Times Sunday crossword! Woohoo! Maybe it was the fresh spring air or the energy of a long weekend, but we decided to go the distance and tackle a stress-inducing Sunday puzzle instead of a stress-free Monday puzzle.

The title was "The Cruciverbalist," and the long answers were:
  • BRAINSTORM THEME IDEAS
  • DEVELOP BEST ENTRIES
  • CONSTRUCT SUITABLE GRID
  • RESEARCH AND WRITE CLUES
  • SEND PUZZLE TO EDITOR
  • SEE BYLINE IN NEWSPAPER

Clever!

After finishing the puzzle, we decided to celebrate with some archery! It's what Orlando Bloom would have done, really.

I know it is supposed to be meaningful when authors wrote about authors, but it just seem self-indulgent when a crossword puzzle writer does it. He must be burning out. I imagine that's common. Congrats on the puzzle!
