Thank you for spending your time on my puzzle!
As always, feedback is welcome. I am new setter and enjoy hearing from solvers. Currently, I am working on writing cryptic crosswords that are relatively easy to solve, so any comments/ feedback related to that are especially welcome.

      Thanks for the comment! It is a skill- I only learned when I had a friend who sat with me to explain the clues, and I’m still working on finishing ones published in UK newspapers! It’s so good that there are places online (like this site) where we can practice and learn!
      I’m happy to explain any clues that you didn’t understand.

      A very entertaining cryptic! Pleasing surface reading and clever wordplay. I enjoyed almost solving it!

        I count a cryptic as relatively easy if I can get at least 3 clues on my own....learning these is a process. Not sure I quite get the wordplay on 9D--but then, it's a process. And I enjoyed getting as far as I got on my own.

          It is a process- and one that I’m definitely still on!
          I’m glad you enjoyed the puzzle.
          The idea for 9D is that it’s almost ‘waco’, (WAC) going ‘up’ (backwards) to make CAW- a bird sound. Looking at it now, I should have put an apostrophe in “sounds”, so that it means “Bird’s sound is” and not the plural. I’ll make the edit.

            I really liked 1A and 5A, and definitely found wacky (in a good way) clues like 10A and 7D to be relatively easy. I don't get 9D, even with your explanation, because I don't know "WACO" as a word for hit, but I'm probably just missing something. Grammatically speaking, I wonder about 7D, since the homophone indicator ("heard") is already used in the clue for HEEL ("command heard by dog"). I also don't know about 6D's use of "International" for UN—one's a noun and one's an adjective. That said, I'm still learning myself, so I may definitely be parsing some stuff incorrectly, and this was all still gettable and fun. I'm looking forward to solving more of yours!

              Hi! Thanks for the comment :)
              Just realised there is a typo in my parsing- it’s meant to be ‘wack’! Apologies for the confusion there.
              I think I’ve seen UN being used for international before, but I’ll double check.
              Thanks for taking the time to solve it, and for the feedback!
