My First Month on note: My Best 5
It has been about a month since I started on note.
Before I knew it, I had managed to post 20 pieces.
I started note to distract myself from the frustration of not being able to get a job at a publishing company, but I've been able to keep it up more enjoyably than I imagined.
And, I've achieved my first goal of 100 followers!
I thought that was a goal for the end of the year, so I'm really happy!!
I mainly post essays and short-shorts.
But honestly, I keep writing while wondering, 'What is the difference between a short-short and a short story?'
I plan to keep writing in this style from here on out.
Actually, I love manga, and I read about 1,200 volumes last year.
I also like comedy, and I have a desire to write about things like solo live shows by DOW90000 or Saraba Seishun no Hikari, or my thoughts on CreepHyp concerts, but I'm a bit hesitant, wondering, 'Is it okay to suddenly put out articles like that?'
Even so, I want to try it little by little.
My next goal is 200 followers.
I have a longing to earn money through writing, so I want to keep working steadily so that I can earn about 1,000 yen.
The ramen I eat with that 1,000 yen will definitely be delicious!!
What made me happiest this past month was being introduced in Yonaga-san's article and receiving comments with feedback from readers.
Knowing that 'there are people watching' is truly a great encouragement.
I would be very happy if you would continue to feel free to leave comments!
Finally, I will announce my 'personal best 5' for this month.

My Best 5
1st Place: 'My Ex-Girlfriend and the Glitz of the Lounge'
The glitz I aimed for with my ex-girlfriend.
I'm debating whether to change it to 'Beyond That Glitz,' like a CreepHyp song title.
2nd Place: 'The Death and Die Parts of Desushine'
There was a time when I was texting someone I was interested in and they used 'desushine' (a pun on 'it is, isn't it' and 'die'), and although they probably didn't mean anything by it, it really bothered me.
It's also a memorable piece that Yonaga-san quoted in their article, which made me happy.
3rd Place: 'Chase the Tsuchinoko!!'
I wrote this aspiring to Keigo Higashino's 'Super Tanuki Theory,' but before I knew it, it turned into a Shinichi Hoshi style. A piece I want to rewrite.
4th Place: 'Broken Dreams'
While writing about why I started note, I also vented my frustration with the shallow words of influencers.
5th Place: 'Dissection'
A title that was praised in the comments as well. I'm patting myself on the back for this one. It's a piece I challenged myself to write because I wanted to create something meta. I want to try writing meta pieces again.
Please read them if you have the time!!

I'm still inexperienced, but I'll keep working hard to write, so please come and read them!!
Also, I'm looking forward to your comments!!
