Super excited to make my debut on my favorite day of the week! Though I'm a bit foggy now on the exact details of how this puzzle came about, I do remember that I created this puzzle during my first months constructing. I had strictly been practicing with themed puzzles until one day I thought to myself "It can't be that much harder to fill a 70-word puzzle". Needless to say I was VERY wrong. Once I came up with a grid design that I liked visually, the process of filling the grid led to many, many hours of wordlist curation, learning moments from trial and error, and eventually a deeper appreciation of how much work goes into creating a puzzle. I look forward to learning and constructing more in the future!
A bit about myself: I am a database/GIS specialist for a small government agency that does mosquito surveillance and control. I also moonlight as a bassist with my band Mandancing. Being a long-time solver, I decided to try constructing in late 2019, mostly as a curiosity, but then I stumbled upon one of the best communities on the internet that has kept me involved since. Fellow constructors and solvers have been some of the most welcoming and friendly people I've come across!
