Towards the note Creative Awards 2025!

WOOOO!!!
Hello everyone! This is Gyakuraku!

Yesterday, I managed to submit my entry just before the end-of-October deadline, and I'm finally feeling a sense of relief.
There are only two months left in 2024, let's do our best!!!

So today, I'd like to participate in this project by Tao-Tao!

I'd like to participate in this!

Tao-Tao is an intense programmer who was incredibly active during the Creative Awards 2024! It made finding works so much easier and really helped, and I was so happy to see my own work listed—I'm truly grateful!

#TowardsTheCreativeAwards2025

Just the other day, the final selections for the note Creative Awards 2024 were announced!
With that, this year's Creative Awards have come to an end, but it's no exaggeration to say that next year has already begun...

Well, I assume it will be held, but who knows...?

Personally, I really want this fun project, which I could even call a "festival", to continue, and I want to participate. It was very encouraging and motivating to connect with people who are both peers and rivals. On the other hand, there seem to be some critical opinions... Well, with an event of this scale and openness, both pros and cons are bound to emerge. In a way, I got a taste of the scale of the Creative Awards. While I think, 'Well, that's one way to look at it...' regarding the criticism, I'm still a total amateur, so I don't really know anything...

Anyway, I'm having fun, so I'm definitely participating without worrying about anything!!! Haha

I love fun things!

Things I definitely want to achieve!

Increase the number of entries!

First, I want to increase the number of works I submit!
I submitted two works for the Creative Awards 2024.
So, I'm thinking I want to submit at least three works!!!

If it's the same as this year,
the Romance Novel category and the Fantasy category
are a must, and I'd also like to challenge myself in the

Horror Novel category!

Read other people's works thoroughly!

This too! This is something I couldn't really achieve this time, and I regret it...
Due to various changes in my personal life, I couldn't find much time outside of writing, and my reading time has decreased in general, so I want to secure time to read works no matter what!
So, I will definitely read some
works by my followers and works by others
during the event!

Start working on the plot now!

For the Creative Awards 2024, I didn't have any works written specifically for the awards; the two works I submitted were revisions of works that had been rejected in the past.
Of course, there will likely be works I submit in the same way for the Creative Awards 2025, but I want to write one specifically for this!
And I'm going to start preparing the plot for that now!
Since the Creative Awards is an open event, I thought I might be able to grasp something if I look at the winning works...

Submit to all genres!

I definitely want to do this too!
I vaguely thought about challenging this for the Creative Awards 2024, but I couldn't make it happen, so I want to submit something next year! (I have an idea, but I'll keep it a secret for now)
I'm going to go all out with hobbies other than novels too!!!

Desires

A super personal wish

That is, I want time!!!!!!!!
Seriously. Well, that's probably impossible, but I want more time to write and read...!!!

Somehow, I need a more stable income before the next event...

Well, I just have to do my best, haha.

Wishes for the official note team

This is actually a stronger desire of mine, haha.

Hey, note official team! Are you watching!!?

Well, it's fine if you aren't, but
I have a wish for the next Creative Awards!
And that is!!!

The establishment of a Youth Novel category

!!!

I've never checked if this genre actually exists in the world, but
I think there are many people who want to write this! Haha.

That's all.

How to spend my time from now until the Creative Awards 2025

Other sites

For now, starting today (November 1st), I have resumed posting novels on other platforms! (I was slacking off too much!!!!!!)
It might be hard to master every site, but I want my work to be seen by many different people, so I'll do my best with this!

Other public submissions

Of course, I will continue to challenge other public submissions as well!
Anyway, I just have to keep writing while learning!
Forward is the only way!!!

If I submit now and get rejected before the Creative Awards, I think I'll revise it and submit it to the Creative Awards!

YouTuber...?

I mentioned it briefly at the end of a previous article, but
I want to start a YouTube channel!

The reason is to spread my work!
Since I also do music, I want to create and add my own background music to my novels!
I'm planning to create a channel to release that content!I don't know if I can actually do it though!!! (This is important)

Also, I'm thinking of making it a kind of work-with-me style channel where we can relax and work together.

So, with that said,

That was my renewed enthusiasm for the beginning of November!!!!

Tao-Tao-sama, thank you once again for organizing this project!!!
Thanks to this project, I feel like I can continue to enjoy the Creative Awards even more!!!

Let's do this!
