[1-Minute Summary] A log of becoming a published author, important again now | I realized it after getting published. In creative work, 'receptivity' is more important than 'writing ability' (#CreativeTheory #GenerativeAI #ImageGenerationAI #WebNovel #note #Essay #CreativeWork)

Hello. Good evening.
My name is 'Ura-byoshi' (Back Cover), and I usually write light novels.

The moment you release a work, it suddenly becomes 'receptive' to everything.
That's why creative work is actually quite tough.

You get read.
You get compared.
People have expectations of you without asking.

And sometimes, people are disappointed in you without asking.

But actually, the hardest part is often not 'harsh criticism,' but 'no reaction' at all.

You spend time writing it, but it ends in silence.
It feels like it hasn't reached anyone.
It's like the feeling of reaching out to the world, but always grasping at thin air.

I think anyone who shares content has experienced this at least once.

I, too, have always thought only about
'how to write so that it reaches people,' but recently, I've come to think that
more than that,

'how not to break yourself when it doesn't reach people'

is
more important in creative work.

In fact, I myself have had many times where I felt
worn down by the lack of reaction,
had readers leave,
and thought, 'Maybe I can't do this anymore.'

Even so, I couldn't stop the desire to share.

Perhaps I was supported not by
'writing' itself, but by
the 'feelings I wanted to reach someone with'
.

In the full article,
I write quite honestly about that 'creative work and receptivity'.

Afterword:
In a city-building simulation game where you can build freely, I suddenly had an idea and asked an AI, 'What kind of environment does a financial district actually have in reality?'
I had never been interested in geography, urban engineering, or architecture before, but once I understood 'why the streets look like this,' it suddenly became interesting.Knowledge that starts from play is nothing but fun, and before I knew it, my curiosity became unstoppable.
