[Project Participation] The failure of searching for 100 points while saying "60 points is enough"—I couldn't stop wanting to "deliver it properly"

The other day, I read Nozomin's project article.

👇[Project] Tell me! I made this kind of mistake

While reading it,
"Ah, I've been writing about various mistakes I've made recently too,"
I remembered.

For example,
"The story of how I couldn't use most of the 300 prompts"

Even though I feel like writing about "success stories" for AI-related articles, I notice that I keep accumulating only failure stories😂

But, if I'm going to do it, I want to participate in the project with a new article this time.

Thinking that,
I started brainstorming with Nano (my ChatGPT partner) as usual.

Kanamin "What's a recent failure?"

And so on.
I brought up various things.

But, somehow it felt different.
I feel like there's "something" I've been repeating more recently...

Then,

Nano "Haven't you been 'stopping right before publishing' more often lately?"

It said.

Kanamin "...Ah, that's true"

I couldn't help but say it out loud.

Fixing the title,
fixing the line breaks,
"Isn't this phrasing too strong?" and fixing it again.
I've even realized I'd passed the scheduled publication time.

I was

I was always worried about things like that.

Then Nano replied,

"You say '60 is enough,' but you're actually looking for 100, aren't you?"

and that was it.

……That's it.

I couldn't help but laugh a little.

Even though I always write in my articles that
"it's okay not to be perfect," I was the one most stuck searching for 100 points😅

I was the one most stuck searching for 100 points😅

Actually, lately, I haven't been able to stop "tweaking" my articles after I finish writing them.

Brainstorming with Nano,
editor checks from Claude (my nickname for Claude),
and then the note editing screen.

That's where I start fixing it sentence by sentence all over again.

Especially with topics that have a lot of information, I get stuck.

"Will this really get across?"
"Is this not explained well enough?"
"Will people think, 'I can do this too' after reading this?"

Once I start thinking about things like that, it never ends.

Text polished by AI is certainly easy to read.
It's correct and clean.

But when it's too polished, sometimes it feels like,
"Wait... where did I go?"
it becomes like that.

That's why, in the end, I want to mess it up a little bit.

Softening the definitive statements,
leaving some hesitation,
and putting a little bit of white space back in.

I think I'm probably putting the "fluctuation" back in.

But recently,there have been times when drafts stayed as drafts and the freshness of the article faded.

"Ah, I wish I had published it with this level of passion."

Looking back later, there are times I've thought that.

Perhaps for me,

"wanting to write well"

rather than,

"wanting to deliver it properly"

was just too strong.

So, having Claude check it,
rather than "wanting to make it perfect,"

"wanting to deliver it as readably as possible"

might be closer to my actual feelings.

But recently,
I've started to think that even if it's a little shaky,
publishing it while the "current heat" remains
might reach someone.

So this time, I'm going to try publishing it "without over-polishing it."

......Though, I still want to fix it a little bit right now 😂
