Sense of Achievement After Summer Vacation
Until yesterday, August 31st, the final day of summer vacation,
I participated in an activity of posting for 66 consecutive days
🤗
This was my second challenge.
I have been posting consecutively since 3/21/2024♡
It is something to be proud of,
and after each daily post, I honestly feel a sense of achievement.
Yesterday, all my writing marathon friends were writing their reflection posts.
Arkun-san also wrote a reflection post ✎
I read it while thinking about how there were various things that happened during the marathon, like the groin issue and the trip.
というわけで。という切り返し文句はこの使い方で合ってるんでしょうか？はて#なんのはなしですかI will also look back on the 66 days up until yesterday♡
Parts that were good to do
Helps in making daily posting a habit
I want to make writing a habit.
And so, I decide on the rules by myself and carry them out.
Consistency definitely requires a strong will, but
once you join the members of 'Rairan', the rules are already set, so it's easy.
And my mindset has changed.
Reading articles by other noters every dayI thought that action wouldn't affect my writing.
Until yesterday. Looking back yesterday, what I thought was
I can write because I've been reading, and I'm able to write because I'm reading.that is what it is.
After all, writing is connected to reading.
The books and notes I have read so far are nothing but one of the reasons why I have come to love writing now.
A sense of solidarity that I'm not alone
After all, when I'm in the Rairan magazine, I visit the magazine.
Then, when I'm thinking 'Ah, I'm getting tired of posting continuously,' there are people who feel the same way.
Empathy with someone else is fuel for motivation.
I can grasp patterns for writing
During Rairan, I end up thinking seriously about how to write every day.
Then, I automatically start searching for patterns that allow me to write, and I can write.
Setting a time, making drafts, etc.
I overcame the embarrassment of writing
I also used the excuse that I was in the middle of a 66-day writing challenge quite often in the beginning.
And then...
#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout
By escaping into the back alley, it became much easier to write.
I have confidence that I will continue writing even after the writing challenge ends.
Because I think I can write if it's in the back alley🍄
I don't think I would have written things like acrostic poems if I hadn't been doing the writing challenge or if it hadn't been in the back alley😂
But once I tried writing them, they became my favorite notes.
Well then.
Parts that I felt were tough while doing it
Regarding this, hmm.
There were no particularly tough parts.
That is my honest impression.
There should be a minus if there is a plus to things.
However, since there isn't one, there isn't one,
so I would like to leave it at that.
I had the same impression during my first writing challenge too🤣
My past struggles with posting every day
I have challenged myself to post every day many times before, but I always ended up giving up.
I decided to write down the patterns of my failures.
1. I would take a break when my collagen disease symptoms flared up because I didn't want to write about feeling unwell.
2. When natural disasters occurred, I would feel down and couldn't write.
My realizations this time
Regarding 1:
I can write even when I'm not feeling well.
Why not just write that I'm feeling unwell?
I realized that no one feels bad about me taking advantage of the fact that writing makes me feel better.
Regarding 2:
Even during this writing challenge, there were earthquakes and typhoon damage, but I didn't let my feelings get dragged down by them.
I can pray for the damage to be kept to a minimum while still writing.
Writing about happy events is not an insensitive act.
I will continue to post consecutively from now on.
I will try writing about what I like, in the way I like.
I want to enjoy this sensation of words being born the more I write, and I intend to keep going.
Writing x Running
A reflection documenting my desire to continue even after it ends.
Yasu-san, I respect you.
Thank you very much.
I look forward to working with you in the future too❣️
If I had to submit just one piece, it would be this note from this day❤️
The hashtag I am always indebted to for every article🍄
#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout
Thank you always for the daily collection and the weekly newsletter🍄
Please, definitely read this article.
If you don't know what this is about, please also read the articles in this magazine.
I am currently reading it right now as well.
On the day I used #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout for the first time, I was the one who didn't understand Konishi Kinoko-san🍄 at all. It makes me feel embarrassed.
I had been imagining your gender and age on my own (I thought you were a woman in your late 20s).
Ah, today is also completely #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout.
