a majority of your clues are not proper... to improve ur clue-setting, do read the art of the crossword by ximenes... you could borrow it from me if you are in bombay... or join the headbanger's den group over on facebook... i have put in the key aspects from most chapters on the group.
Thanks everyone & Welcome CT!
Hi Nimish,
Unfortunately, I'm neither in Bombay nor on Facebook but I'm in the process of getting hold of Mr. Macnutt's masterpiece.
Your feedback is exactly what I'm looking for here being just 3 xwords old. I would really appreciate it if you could show by example the improprieties in a clue. I understand that this may involve some effort on your part but I would be really really delighted.
I am already learning a lot in this creative pursuit and being self-critical. For example, I missed the def in 3dn!
In fact, this has given me a nice idea - invite people to rewrite the clues in a better way. I will write more about this in the main section.
BTW, where have you been hiding all this time??????
No problem, Vasi Sir! Needless to say but I'm just honored by your presence!
Sure will redo some clues which I think need reworking. BTW, I haven't been clued in to solving much and haven't been on the circuit thanks to a few other pursuits. But getting back again.
Thanks, Nimish - appreciate it!
