Puzzle 1

Theme: Unthemed
Wednesday difficulty. This is my favorite one yet. Hope you enjoy!
Puzzle 2

Theme: Unthemed
Friday difficulty. Will Shortz' team sent me a very nice rejection letter when I submitted it, saying it had a lot of (but not enough) good fill.
Puzzle 3

Theme: Tortally Naansensical
Wednesday difficulty. I must have been hungry the entire time while constructing it.
Puzzle 4

Theme: For Your Consideration
Thursday difficulty. My most self-indulgent puzzle by far. Not NYT kosher because of the middle, but it's good enough for me!
Puzzle 5

Theme: Mono Sound
Wednesday difficulty. My first puzzle good enough to share. Mostly just worked backwards from a few solid pun ideas.
