To unify the worldview of my writing.
What should I do, I wonder.
That's what I want to ask.
Hehe.
(Starting to write without a clear plan.)
For now, I haven't thought of anything other than the title. (Unplanned person)
◇◇◇
Actually, there is a proper reason why I chose this title.
Well, you see.
I was complimented yesterday. On my writing.
"I want to be able to write like that too"
What a devastatingly powerful compliment.
And it came from someone I respect, whom I followed about a month ago when I started note, thinking, "I love this person's writing."
I thought my brain was going to melt.
◇◇◇
And now, I'm holding onto this feeling of "I want to create writing with a similar worldview!" along with a sense of impatience.
I'm frozen, with a face like a Moai statue.
"I want to be able to write like that too," well.
That might be a bit (or rather, quite a bit) of an overestimation.
Since I wrote it on a whim and with momentum, I feel like I'll never be able to recreate that worldview again. (lol)
Looking back at "I want to be able to write like that too," I find myself feeling a mysterious sense of empathy these days, thinking, "Ah~, I get it~~~."
I like the "color" of yesterday's writing, so I want to keep pushing forward with it~~~.
That's the feeling I have, but.
No, well, I can't write it.
The more I aim for it, the less I can write it.
Yuki Ishikawa, Kotoba to Kokoku, Aayan, Yasu (Yasushi Ueda), Pan, Koshiro, ...and so on.
It was a product that happened to be born after being inspired and influenced by so many people.
In a sense, it's just a rehash. Haha.
At the very least, it's not yet my own color.
◇◇◇
Come to think of it, did you know?
You can actually harvest coffee beans from a coffee plant houseplant. I thought it was just a different plant with the same name...
Sorry.
I was tired of writing, so I looked it up to clear my head.
I wonder how you get it to bear fruit. (Not that it matters.)
◇◇◇
So, back to the main topic.
Since I'm at it, let's compare writing to coffee.
Maybe the 'color' of writing is like a 'blend coffee'.
You blend the 'parts you like' (beans) from various people, right?
Roast them, grind them, and pour hot water over them.
That's the feeling I had when I wrote yesterday's article.
Kotoba to Kokoku beans and Yasu (Yasushi Ueda) beans, an original blend.
Kotoba to Kokoku's note has 'emotions' and 'elongation marks' (like 'isn't it~' etc.) scattered at exquisite moments. It's soft.
Yasu (Yasushi Ueda)'s note, I like how he always includes stories unrelated to the main topic, and the atmosphere of his introductions. Isn't this one super good?
Somehow, I'm not good with 'stiff writing' or writing that exudes a 'scary vibe'.
I have no choice but to imitate the atmosphere of these two legends.
(I don't know what's correct or not. It's a matter of preference.)
Of course, I can't reach the depth or weight of their words at all.
But first, I'll start with the form.
When it comes to that, it's not just about the combination of beans.
The taste changes completely depending on the roast level, whether it's coarsely or finely ground, and the amount and pouring method of the hot water.
Regarding the finer points, I still feel like, 'I'm probably relying more on luck than actual skill.'
'Ratio of beans (reflection of influence from others)'
'Dark roast (depth) or light roast (approachability)'
'Water temperature (passion of the article)'
Perhaps that's because I haven't fully internalized those parts as my own.
'That's delicious! I'll come again!'

I might never be able to make it again. (Looking into the distance)
That's the kind of amateur writing barista I am.
I tried to write this while recalling the feelings I had when I wrote yesterday's article as much as possible...
What do you think? (As if you'd know.)
