When you're worried about 'having nothing to write on note'...

'I want to write something on note, but I can't seem to get started, and it's frustrating.' You might find yourself worrying like that. To keep writing, the key is not to over-plan in your head. It's fine to just wing it—just write down what you're thinking right now!

As I write this, the thought 'I have nothing to write on note!' is in my head. I'm just turning that thought into text as it is. Below, I'll actually try writing it out.

I like writing itself, so I'm thinking of writing something on note today, but I can't think of what to write. If you ask why I can't think of anything, it's probably because, other than 'I need to write on note!', there's nothing else in my current thoughts. Of course, if I'm only thinking 'I have to write!', it's no wonder I can't come up with any topics.

But it's a fact that the thought 'I have to write' is in my head right now. I'm filled with 'I have to write,' 'I have to write!' That means I can write about the fact that 'I can't think of a topic to write on note, but I have to write something!' If you just take the thoughts swirling around in your head and turn them into text in real-time, you can write as much as you want.

I've written two paragraphs so far, but I didn't plan this out in advance or start writing after deciding 'I'm going to write this.' I'm just writing down what I'm thinking about right now. So, writing itself isn't actually difficult, and anyone can do it.

However, once 'greed' creeps in, you suddenly can't write anymore. What is that 'greed'? It's the desire to 'have many people read it.' Of course, I'd rather have as many people read it as possible than have no one read it at all. But once you get trapped by that kind of 'greed,' you immediately stop being able to write.

In the first place, isn't there no such thing as a 'correct answer' for a piece of writing that people will read? Writing instructors and business influencers often seen on note tend to say, 'To get people to read your writing, you must provide value to the reader. And you need to appeal that there is value in the article's title.' That's their methodology.

It's true that readers judge whether to read an article based on its title, and an article that makes a reader feel glad they read it should contain content that is useful to them. But let's think about this carefully. What exactly is 'useful writing'? It's not something you can simply label as 'This is a useful article!', and the 'laws of useful articles' are things that seem to exist but don't really.

Another thing that type of person often says is, 'Stop talking about yourself. No one is interested in you if you aren't a celebrity.' To those people, writing that resembles a diary is the least read type of writing.

But is a 'diary' really not read? Of course, there are many people who aren't interested in someone else's 'diary,' but for example, you might enjoy reading a diary that covers things you are interested in. Whether it's useful or not, writing that the author has poured their heart into regarding a genre they love is enjoyable just for that reason.

So, there's no need to worry about things like 'Is there any point in writing this?' You should just keep writing as if you are venting your thoughts. If your head is full of a movie you just watched, turn that into text. It's also good to keep writing things down in a memo app on your smartphone. With this method, you can write as much as you want. And even though you're just venting your thoughts, it somehow feels like it's becoming useful writing. It might not be writing that many people are interested in, but there's a possibility that people who are worried about 'having nothing to write on note' just like me might find it interesting to read.

If you write with this stance, you won't worry much about having nothing to write, and in fact, you could write as many articles as you want whenever you have free time. Success!

And just like that, I was able to write this piece smoothly.

I wrote this completely on the fly, and what to write next just came to me like a chain reaction while I was writing. You could say it's like a word association game.

By the way, to turn your thoughts into text, you need 'vocabulary,' so it's also important to read books and get familiar with various 'words' and 'methods of expression'.
I hope this is helpful.
