Two of my resolutions for this year are to 1) make more puzzles and 2) get better at cluing. This puzzle is my first attempt at both. It’s a 12×12 52-worder to make things easier on myself, and while I don’t think you’ll find any of the clues too tricky, I did my best to make them all fun and interesting.
Thanks to Lila for the test solve and for helping me find the best way to write the clue for 30-Down!
