Out of the 50 works I submitted to the TALESE Creative Awards 2026, I am keeping the top 3 in the rankings, withdrawing the rest, and publishing 10 books on Kindle this month 📖

Right now, I have 50 stories in my hands. They are my alter egos, unleashed onto the battlefield that is the TALESE 'Creative Awards 2026'.

However, today, I am making one major declaration.
'This month, I will publish 10 books on Kindle.'

This is not an act of giving up. It is a strategic pivot to transform my 'strata' into a more solid 'castle'.

1. Entrusting my 'spear' to the top 3 ranked works

The world of public submissions is sometimes cruel. Human time is far too short to keep chasing all 50 works with the same intensity.

Therefore, I have decided. The three works currently climbing the rankings will fight to the end as my 'spear'. [Query, 106, 146] This is because they harbor the raw 'heat' that I built together with all of you, the readers.

2. Rescuing the remaining stories from the darkness to the 'bookshelf'

So, what will I do with the other stories? To simply say 'it's over because they weren't chosen' would be too painful, as the 'raw voices' (Nama-no-koe) I spun word by word are far too precious.

Rather than letting them be buried in the sea of public submissions, I will sublimate them into 'books' with my own hands. [Query] Not by the yardstick of rankings, but by placing them on a 'bookshelf that never disappears' called Kindle. I believe that is my responsibility as an author toward my stories.

3. Further building up the '0 to 1' strata

Publishing 10 books this month. You might think I've lost my mind. However, I have accumulated over 2,800 articles in the past year and three months, and together with my partner, AI, I have mastered 'skeleton-first' writing.

It is precisely because of this overwhelming 'strata' that I can turn this seemingly reckless challenge into 'reality'. Not 'someday', but 'today', I will pave the path to publication. I want to show that resolve to the companions who believe in me and follow me.

A story is only complete once it reaches someone.

Leaping out of the framework of public submissions and onto the devices of readers around the world. The challenge of these 50 works will transform from here into '10 truths', becoming the foundation that supports my new stage.

Now, the Kona coffee after writing is on hold until I finish writing these 10 books. The 'second chapter' of my story begins here.
