The person who brought me to the selection
December 2023.
I published a Kindle book.
At that time, I had only been on note for half a year.
Looking back now, I feel like, 'Wow, I really did it.'
My writing wasn't particularly good.
I just had more passionthan anyone else🔥
I wrote it purely on momentum and intensity.
The power of friends supporting each otherwas also huge.
And above all, the power of someone running alongside mewas so reassuring.
There was someone who worried with me, laughed with me, and helped me organize things with me.
We were both beginners.
Fumbling in the dark.
But, we were serious!!
That was truly,
a Koshien tournament by the name of Kindle production⚾
It was so much fun!
But, it was so painful!!
I couldn't have reached Kindle publication on my own.
After that, I tried to write a second book many times.
But, I just couldn't write it!
Whatever I wanted to write with the same intensity as that time just wouldn't come to me.
But, this time.
It finally came to me.
It took two whole years.
Too long (lol)
I had made up my mind.
'If something I really want to write comes to me again, I will definitely ask that person.'I told myself.
If you've been reading my articles for a long time, you've probably already figured it out—it's that person.
The person who fought in that Kindle Koshien two years ago.
Yes.
Kaze no Boushi-san
I really kept you waiting, didn't I (lol)
Nowadays, Hat-san is running a membership and providing a lot of support for Kindle publishing.
Back then, it was my first time.
Actually, Hat-san and I started on note around the same time, so we're kind of like peers (lol).
We used to talk together on Stand.fm a lot back in the day, too.
It feels like they've gone so far away that I shouldn't just approach them casually anymore.
Even so, they responded firmly to my request after two years of,“Please help me again!”And this time, I’ve grown too.
When it came to Kindle, I relied on Hat-san for everything from the start.
I was in a state of “Help me, Anpanman!”
First of all, I wrote
10,300 characters all by myself.
Isn't that amazing?
I did everything I could do on my own.
On top of that, I asked Hat-san,“I want to make this reach even further.”
Hat-san took those thoughts to heart.
With their precise advice, my article kept evolving.
And then,
in the middle of that evolution, my arm died...
I just couldn't do it anymore.
I couldn't write.
I left it alone.
In the middle of it, I felt distressed and wanted to mess around, so I wrote abouta woman who talksand played around.
When I'm writing something serious, I play to the fullest.
I escape from reality.
This ismy writing style!
Sharp✨
And then,
entering March, I started to burn again🔥
If I were alone, I might have burned out on my own and left it as a draft forever.
Because Hat-san was there, I was able to write it to the end.
There is nothing more reassuring than a paid article written together with someone else.
Honestly.
I even felt, “Even if it doesn't sell, it's fine as long as Hat-san read this much.”
No, I'm sorry.
I don't want to lie.
I want people to read it!!
I want people to buy it!!
Writing down my honest feelings clearly is the good thing about a woman who talks.
This time, I had a lot of discussions with Hat-san about,
"Where should we start charging?"
"How much should it be?"
You see, I
was planning to make it fully paid from the first half.
But Hat-san was different.
"Let's put out more in the first half."
"Huh, you're going to let them read that much??" I don't know how many times I retorted (lol).
So, you know.
You can read quite a lot of volume just in the first half.
I think there are probably people who will be satisfied after reading that far.
That can't be helped.
If you think it's a story that has nothing to do with you at all, or if you don't want to read until the second half, please feel free to leave.
However, even in that case,
I'd be happy if you just hit the like button. Tehehe.
But,
the paid part in the second half might be even more interesting~ (lol)
Anyway, how much time it took to write that part.
How much I worried, suffered, and refined it until I was satisfied.
I put all my passion and determination into this.
I put it all in.
March 6th.
On the third anniversary of starting note,I am finally releasing it.
If you'd like,
please read the first half, and if you think,"Oh well, I guess I'll read this person's serious effort,"then please go ahead and read through to the second half.
So, once again,
Kaze no Boushi-san, who brought me this far, thank you so much.
This time, I went tothe selection known as a paid article⚾️
