Celebrating 2 Years on note 🌸 Along with a Spring Album
Today marks my 2nd anniversary since registering on note ❣️
At first, I mainly read, and I didn't start posting until about two months later, so I only realized it when a commemorative cake arrived from note 😊 Thank you so much 🎂
Everything was new and I was full of questions (and still am... 😅), but I learned so many things from my kind and gentle note friends.
Those who were especially helpful to me in the beginning include Demo-mo-Kasan, Yuyu-san, Noriko Tonomura-san, chiyo-san, Ash-san, naomi-san, Yoshiki Ide-san, Pepeshi-san, Kacchi-san, Apollo-san, Hiro-o-chan... I could go on forever listing names 🌹
Yuzu-san, whose articles I read a lot, was in my top 3!
There are many others, and my encounters with everyone until now are my treasures 🥰
Unfortunately, some people have stopped posting, but since then, my note friends have continued to grow, and I receive so much energy from them 🤗
Mero-shan and Yuki Mama-san, who make me laugh from the bottom of my belly every time 🤣
They make me forget all the difficult things in daily life.
I started note to read Kosuke Komaki-san's stories and to keep a record of my fairy tales, but I never imagined at the time that I would get to know so many people through comment exchanges and participate in fun projects.
And I was truly happy to be able to publish a collection of fairy tales, which I thought was just a dream, thanks to meeting ten-san, who always heals my heart with wonderful illustrations, and Mimuko-san, who is a genius with her many projects, ideas, and amazing skills 💖
The Apollo Haiku Tournament, which started about three months after I began posting, made me think, 'This looks fun, maybe I'll join,' while laughing out loud at the chat-like project comment meetings held by Apollo-san, Kacchi-san, and others.
The haiku tournament, which was supposed to end after one time, is now reaching its 8th edition with this Lilac Cup.
Although the majority of the participants were beginners at haiku, the haiku teachers and Shino-san taught us so many things without holding anything back.
Also, Madoka Sasara-san kindly taught me how to use Canva and how to make business cards, things I had never done before. And when I couldn't make headers and such well, Hayashippu-chan, rira-san, and Shirokumakirin-san made them for me.
I never thought about writing haiku myself until I started note, but I think it's wonderful that not only have I been able to write haiku and tanka, but as the events continued, all the staff worked together to make it a fun tournament where we could interact with so many people.
The Everyone's Haiku Tournament is a tournament where anyone, including first-timers, can feel free to participate ❣️
Haiku, tanka, senryu... please do join us 🤗
Past works are also fine, so I completed my participation early this time 👍
Bonus 😆
