I've posted over 300 puzzles on my website, and recently had logic puzzles published in the New York Times! I've made many smaller and variant crosswords, but only two standard-size (15x15) crosswords in my life. I want to make one to submit places, and know how to do so, but my bottleneck is good ideas. I wanna make something clever and interesting.
Summer ends on August 22.
I will not bet NO, and will try to give updates.
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

@AndrewHebb Market has stated the date summer ends for quite a while (end of summer break).
@Conflux perfection (in this case) the the enemy of starting. Spend one 8 hour Saturday on it whatever, and then your perfectionist will do the rest. Chose topics from manifold for your ideas.
@Coach_Exec it’s possible! I’m pretty busy this week and next though - with the podcast, nice numbers video, puzzles, college apps, a few events this weekend
@Conflux when we look back on our lives (I'm 55 and I've done loads of fun and lucrative things) one notices that all the biggest and biggest elements were to do with the decision you made in just five hours or so. That's not to say be impetuous, but give the moment a chance!
@Coach_Exec Loving the idea of a dedicated Manifold coach who comes in to buy low YES shares and then coach you to a profitable YES resolution.
No longer trusting any coach who can't do this.
@Coach_Exec thanks for the reassurance! But in this case it’s more about project prioritization for me than motivation (although you could argue it’s all about motivation)
@Conflux I'm cool with losing Ṁ100. You can't do two hours work in one hour...
But... We would like to see a start. Can you commit to a start this weekend, with a submission date of 15 September?
@Charlie yeah it does seem like this is the purpose of the "Personal Goals" category on manifold.
@JoshuaB I would still love to do it! I just had too many things I was trying to do this summer / not enough productivity. Maybe I should make another market.
