Anacrostic Puzzle: "Radical Self-Care"

Your challenge is to reveal a quote from a notable person!

HOW TO SOLVE:

- Start by using the CLUES (on the right) to complete several seemingly unrelated answers. These answers are labeled with capital letters A, B, C, D, etc. Solve them crossword-style, entering answers in the spaces in the lower left.

- As you complete each answer, you'll see those same letters appearing throughout the quote above it. Why? Because those answers, collectively, anagram into the quote!

- Work back and forth between the answers and the quote. You can click on and type in any squares in both the quote and answers. The more you complete the answers, the more you complete the quote... and vice versa!

- When you're done, the first letters of each answer will spell out the person who's the source of the quote. Good luck!

(Note: The pencil icons by the clues don't do anything, other than help you enter notes to help you solve. Feel free to disregard them!)

Anacrostic Puzzle: "What Was I Made For?"

 For the longest time, I've searched for a solution for creating anacrostic puzzles and posting them on my blog, for free.

I tried creating a hack using Crossword Compiler (which is, um, only for making crosswords. The result was not optimal!)

After a lot of digging, I found a solution involving a site called Crossword Nexus. It takes a few steps, but if you've got an anacrostic puzzle's quote, author, clues, and answers ready to go, building the post and embedding it takes about 5 minutes! So pumped. Good luck!
