If we're together, we'll keep going, and before you know it, you'll get better. | Writing Club
Isn't writing hard?
Even writing a short article takes about 30 minutes. If you want to write something with real effort, it easily takes an hour or two, doesn't it? And yet, why do we write?In an age of audio streaming and video, why did you choose note?
Because you love it, right? After all, you love to write, and you want to shape it like a sculpture, saying "this isn't quite right" or "that's not it either."
I want you to cherish that "love."If possible, I want you to hold onto it. What, is that none of my business? Well, maybe (laughs). Even if I didn't say anything, those who write will write, and those who continue will continue. But not everyone is a strong person. I wish there was a place like this.
A place where everyone can gather.
If we can inspire each other, sometimes encourage each other, maybe we can keep writing without giving up. That's the thought behind the birth of the "Writing Club." That's why, I've prepared plenty of content to help you keep writing.The 30-day writing program is one, and the almost daily prompts are another. Everything is there to help you keep going.
Is just continuing enough? Will I really get read? You will. Half the secret to being read is to just keep going calmly.
You might think, "Oh, that's easy!" But in my experience, 70-80% of people can't do this "continuing" part. If you continue, you'll get better on your own. Why? Because you aren't being read. No matter how much you write, you don't get any feedback on whether it's good or if you're writing well.
That's why I've prepared some projects.
If you join the Writing Club's co-managed magazine, you'll be more likely to be read. There's an internal competition called "Minika Kingdom," and there's also "Title Tiger," which aims to improve your article titles. Above all, if you show interest, there are members who will show interest in you.
This is important. Because writing is lonely. It's fine to be alone when you write, but when you look up, it's a relief to have everyone there.
If you opened this page and became interested in the "Writing Club," please open that door. If you're still skeptical, it's okay to just read the articles. My life changed because of note.I became able to make a living by writing, and I met irreplaceable friends.
Next, it's your turn.
It's fine to enjoy it loosely as a hobby, and it's fine to be eager, thinking, "Someday I'll make this my job!" "Writing" has that much capacity, and I want the Writing Club to be that kind of place, too.May your writing continue. May the future you want to achieve come true. The Writing Club is on your side.
To you who have read this far, I really want you to read this. Articles I've poured my soul into (membership benefits).

Kotoba to Kokoku's articles are always full of love (in every direction) (Tomomo | Midwife) It made me feel, 'Alright, I'll write again.' Kotoba to Kokoku is always kind to both those who can write and those who can't (
Tada no Haru-san) There are so many members connected through the Writing Club, and everyone is kind with just the right amount of distance. This is probably a miracle community. May it last forever (
Natsuyama Ringo-san) If this were a school, I'd want to transfer here. If this were a company, I'd want to join it. I love the atmosphere of the Writing Club!! Thank you, Kotoba-san, for providing such a warm atmosphere and a place to write freely (Otowa Shiina-san
) The Writing Club is certainly a club for writing, but I think it's a one-of-a-kind place that is incredibly grateful for the mental support even before that. Thank you always (Tada no Haru-san
) I can say for sure that if I hadn't met Kotoba-san and the friends in the Writing Club, I would have left note a long time ago! lol (Kyotano-san) The 'Writing Club' is very comfortable. That's because Kotoba-san is flat with everyone (
Sakurai Hana-san) For me, the Writing Club is a place where I can feel warmth, stimulate each other, and nurture the humanity to share in someone else's joy (
Shoko-san) It's great, the Writing Club. I'm gaining various learnings centered on writing. The learnings outside of writing are also significant. I can even get hints that lead to a better life (Haruno Mashako-san
) If you like writing, note is truly recommended. First, I recommend joining the Writing Club when you start note (Kyotano-san
) I remember being moved when I joined the Writing Club, thinking, 'Oh? There were people who like writing this much. So close by' (Otowa Shiina-san) It's been about 10 days since I joined the community. I decided to join on a bit of an impulse, but I'm really glad I did. Why? Because it makes me feel every day that there are so many people in this world who love writing and expressing themselves (omitted) The 'Writing Club' run by Kotoba-san is a very kind community! (
Sati-san) It really is warm. What is this sense of security? Is it home? It's close to the image of writing on note (concentrating in my own time) and thinking, 'Phew, I wrote today too. I'm home.' (
Meganeko-san) The more I say the Writing Club is wonderful, the more I feel like it's going far away, so I haven't been able to say it until now. But I'll say it properly. Kotoba to Kokoku's Writing Club is really good! My writing is improving so much! Since I've been taken care of so much, I have to say it (Kyo-san
) 'Writing is a solitary act, but I'm not writing alone.' This is the reason why I continue on note! I'm really glad I joined the Writing Club. Thanks to Kotoba-san and everyone in the Writing Club (Lemon-san
) I deeply feel that it's a really good place... Kotoba-san is a lighthouse. I've come to look forward to reading the members' articles (Sati-san
I'm always helped and encouraged by this feeling from Kotoba-san, and I come to love writing even more (omitted) Kotoba-san is truly amazing. I want to tell everyone, 'All of that will be solved in the Writing Club' (Kyotano-san) Since joining the Writing Club, my motivation for writing has gone up and it's a lot of fun. I've been updating every day for a month! I didn't think it would last this long, and I'm surprised myself (
Mosumoto-san) The Writing Club is amazing after all. Learning to write is of course important, but it's not just a place to learn that. Being in the Writing Club adds color to my life. I feel that way (
Kirin-san) For me, it's a membership that teaches me the ups and downs of 'writing'. That is the 'Writing Club' (Sachitomoko-san
) The Writing Club where we can all talk about little anxieties is the best (Sorahara Yuni-san
) Before I knew it, writing itself had become so much fun I couldn't help it. That's thanks to joining Kotoba-san's 'Writing Club'. I also met many friends. Since meeting Kotoba-san, I decided to only do fun things, and then I started to be able to move forward more and more (Kyotano-san) For things I don't understand or things I'm worried about, Kotoba-san has already written many articles. So no matter what article I read, it feels like it saves the current me. The articles Kotoba-san writes and the articles everyone in the Writing Club writes are like a treasure trove for me. Everyone in the Writing Club is truly kind, and I still look forward to the monthly club meeting (
Kirin-san) Since joining the Writing Club, I've become able to express my true feelings more than before. Before, I would hesitate, wondering if it was okay to talk about such things. The presence that accepts me is huge (
Mikenyan-san) I might have solved all my 'writing' worries in the Writing Club (Kyotano-san
) I understood after joining. Members who love 'writing' are gathered here. It's a mysterious organization that researches writing. We discuss writing, exchange opinions on articles, and those members and Kotoba to Kokoku press 'like' on my writing and comments, supporting my back. I think this is valuable for something you get for 1500 yen, 50 yen a day. I feel like I've secretly found a treasure (Shiina-san
) The Writing Club is really a kind place. I'm a member who just joined and is still shy, but I think so too. I can think that it's okay to be myself. I feel really safe when I'm in the Writing Club. Kotoba-san, thank you for the warm place (Nagisa Iru-san) Since joining the 'Writing Club', note has become many times more fun! (
Sachitomoko-san) Thank you for the kind world. I feel relieved when I come here. That it's okay for me to be myself. I'm happy that I can be in such a world. Kotoba-san, thank you for the wonderful place (
Mikenyan-san) Because there is a place (island) called the Writing Club where I can return with peace of mind, I can take on challenges. Thank you always. I sincerely hope that we can continue to exchange comments like this in 10 years, calmly and loosely (Otowa Shiina-san
) It's fun with an atmosphere where everyone is writing together. I'm glad I could rejoin. Thank you always! (Sasao-san
) What I thought after joining. It's a warm place where I can be my true self. It's a place where I can come to love writing more and more (Nagisa Iru-san) Surely, people who think writing is fun, or who want to continue because it's fun, and who are looking for such friends and stimulation, are gathering at note and Kotoba to Kokoku's Writing Club (
RaM-san) It was a wonderful place where people who like writing gather. Everything I want to do and want to know is packed in here!! That was the feeling. Then, even though I should have been confused about what to write, I want to write this too! I want to write that too! Many things I want to write came out. Kotoba-san's Writing Club is too amazing!!!!! (
Kirin-san) Comfort--the comfort is amazing! I deeply felt the atmosphere, the moderate distance, the kindness, and the greatness of the Writing Club, and I thought it was a gift of Kotoba to Kokoku's management. Really. This atmosphere of the Writing Club is not something to be taken for granted! (Seriously) (Natsuyama Ringo-san
) These relationships, which don't seem real but are real, make me feel energetic, thank you always. I worried for a month about wanting writing friends and gathered the courage to join, but it was good (Yuzu-san
) Recently, I think again that I'm glad I joined the membership. If I hadn't joined, when I couldn't write, I might have left it as is and not been writing on note? I'm happy that note is in my daily life now, and that the Writing Club is there (Natsuyama Ringo-san) The Writing Club is also a place where I can grow as a human being, and I love it (
Nurse Shoko-san) It's really happy when something reaches someone. I'm glad I started note, and I'm glad I joined the Writing Club. I've come to love writing again (
Tomomo | Midwife) Kotoba-san's straight-shooting, passionate style exploded! I was thrilled. I only have empathy for Kotoba-san's posts. Furthermore, the way of managing the community in the membership is also very educational. I've taken the liberty of thinking of you as a master (Maico-san
) I also deeply thank Kotoba to Kokoku of the Writing Club, who made my note world wider. I'm really glad I joined the Writing Club (Lemon-san
) There are various articles about writing. How to write sentences, things to be careful about, ways of thinking, and conversely, things you don't need to worry about (omitted) You can read from anywhere, and it's written in an easy-to-understand way. I'm happy that I can read it quickly (Natsuyama Ringo-san) A great teacher who always takes care of me not only in technical aspects but also in mental aspects. I'm really glad I met Kotoba to Kokoku. Thank you always (
Kyo-san) A gathering of people who like to spin words, with Kotoba-san at the head, it's very comfortable (
Tomomo-san) The way Kotoba-san pushes your back is always exquisite. Not too strong, but not too kind either. Thank you always (Tada no Haru-san
) It's rare to feel excitement as an adult, but when I'm in Kotoba to Kokoku's Writing Club, there are times when my heart rate goes up and I get excited. That's the heat of the articles, or the projects. Also, the heat of writing of the people gathered is amazing. I can't believe such a place exists. I get many hints to continue writing happily (Toku Tokuko-san
) Thank you for the article right away. I was moved, thinking, 'This is what membership is!' to have what I wanted to know answered like this (Ringo-san) The way Kotoba to Kokoku pushes my back is very comfortable, and I can think 'Let's do my best' without strain. Thank you always (
Tada no Haru-san) I became interested in Kotoba to Kokoku, who is creating the excitement of Monoka Kingdom. There was a community packed with adult fun that I hadn't tasted even after being on note for several years. I am now becoming addicted to the note swamp with the Writing Club as my main axis (
Shiina-san) I'm having a fulfilling note life, of course, thanks to Kotoba-san! (Chinami-san
) Kotoba-san is a role model for me, both in terms of writing and membership management. I'm always grateful that there is a back to follow and that you are on note (Maico-san
) I think it would have been hard if I were alone. But I'm the type who isn't good at being deeply involved in human relationships, and the Writing Club is very comfortable (Teshima Yuriko-san) For those who want to write on note and be read more, the Writing Club is good~ It's for those who can think, 'For 'writing', let's rely on Kotoba to Kokoku for now' (
miko-san) There were many things I could discover precisely because I jumped into this 'community'. I still lack training, but I'm going to write freely and openly (

List of membership benefit articles


A wide variety of projects are lined up and things are heating up!
The following co-managed magazines, which members can participate in, are very popular.
I'm really enjoying being able to read the wonderful articles by the members of the Writing Club and having casual interactions. I'm so glad I joined. Thank you always for providing such a lovely community space (Lemon-san) Isn't there a butterfly effect happening in the Writing Club magazine? (omitted) Perhaps it's a phenomenon that occurs because people write about what they felt when they read, and then others read that and write again. A small boom happening within the Writing Club (
Tada no Haru-san) The magazine is excellent (omitted) I was able to learn how to navigate note through the articles of senior members. I felt the atmosphere of the members watching over me, and writing has become a habit. It's not a feeling of 'I'm being watched so closely,' but rather a relaxed feeling of 'Oh, you came to visit,' which is very comfortable (

Thank you for today! The fog in my head has cleared up. Talking about it helps me organize my thoughts, and it was even better because I could get advice from you, Kotabato-san.
I'm surprised at how deep the content was for a first session (omitted) Looking forward to the next one! By the way, I couldn't believe it was our first time talking.
Wow! Thank you for your thoughts on SNS. I received a reply that exceeded my expectations and I read it many times. It makes sense!
Thank you for the incredibly touching feedback!!
I've been asking various questions in the individual consultation plan. Every time, the answers are precise and full of love. I realized that a batter getting applause for a home run is because the player has that much ability to be loved. The Writing Club is the best.
I was able to move forward because I could get advice from Kotabato Koukoku-san for these two months. Interaction with other Writing Club members is also a great support. I definitely couldn't have come this far alone (omitted) The scenery I see now is completely different from before I joined the Writing Club and before I had the individual consultation.
I was feeling down because my note has been stagnant lately, but when I consulted with Kotaba-san, there were tons of things I could improve. I only have room to grow, and I'm getting excited! Thank you as always~
I know I will definitely be accepted. And if necessary, I get advice with warm words like, 'Maybe you should fix this part.' Ah, I love this feeling. Being accepted, being understood. Just that alone allows people to move forward on their own path.
How reassuring it is that Kotabato Koukoku-san always reads my articles and encourages me. I'm so glad I met you. I want to praise myself for finding you.
Amazing, this is amazing! Every piece of advice was precise, and I understood well, 'Oh, so that's how I should think about it!' I'm glad I signed up! I'm moved.
I have always been able to move forward thanks to the advice from Kotabato Koukoku-san. Whether it's articles or anything else, Kotabato Koukoku-san's advice helps me move forward.
I thought about it while writing recently, but when I stumble, the things I was taught become a guidepost, and although it's little by little, I feel like the basics are soaking in (omitted) It feels easier to decide when I'm lost, and somehow easier to write. I'm glad I received coaching. Thank you!
Since Kotaba-san pointed out 'readability' and I started being conscious of it, I feel like my passion for note has returned. Because you said that, Kotaba-san, I felt like I was properly moving forward.
I truly feel glad that I joined. Thank you for the warm feedback.
If you are a writing professional like Kotabato Koukoku-san, I think you would want to tell others to do this or that. Because it's frustrating. But Kotabato and Koukoku-san don't say that. They can wait for that person's own start. I think this 'ability to wait' is also a wonderful talent of Kotaba-san, and being waited for is very reassuring. Because I can be relaxed, the good points I didn't even realize I had come out easily.
At first, I had anxiety like, 'What should I ask?', but now I'm just taking it easy like this... is that okay? Thank you. I'm really grateful to be able to catch inspirations for articles from this relaxed feeling~
I'm really happy to receive your thoughts and advice like this!! And I feel that the way you convey it without pressure is exactly the personality of Kotabato Koukoku-san that I felt when reading your writing, and although it's only the second day, I'm glad I joined.
If you read Kotabato Koukoku-san's articles every day and write something, there's no way you won't grow, even if there are individual differences. Plus, there's feedback.
Reading the feedback, I felt it deeply. Kotabato Koukoku-san is kind. You are a person like a soft, gentle blanket. My heart, which was frayed with anxiety and impatience, became soft with the feedback.
I always receive your thoughts, and reading them is my motivation. It's a truly grateful situation for me to continue writing note. But it's a waste that I hardly reply and only receive thoughts. I should be able to learn more from the Writing Club...!
This chat is really fun, thank you for creating such a place.
