For those who cannot press the post button

This time, it is my story.

I am using my
former self who couldn't bring themselves to post on note
as the subject.

"I just can't seem to post"
"I give up on writing halfway through"
"I won't post unless it's perfect"

I thought it might be advice for
people who cannot press the post button like that,
so I will share my actual experience.

✔Why don't you
post on note?

I am a
genius at making extreme excuses (lol).

The old me
refused to post for three main reasons.

① Imagining how hard it is to create an article
makes me feel miserable

② Using being an amateur as an excuse, saying "You're not a professional writer, right!?"


③ Procrastinating by saying "I'll post after I get used to writing in drafts"

These are the three reasons above.

These are "common occurrences for note beginners" (-_-;)

✔Refer to the writing of
people who are ○○

How did I, a self-proclaimed genius of excuses,
manage to post on note?

The answer is "to use people who are already posting on note as models"
.

I used to look for
people who started a little bit before me on note and used them as role models.

There are many creators on note.

Naturally,
there are also people who write brilliant prose.

Even if I use such highly skilled writers as a reference,
I end up feeling bad about myself later,
so I keep it to just reading them for reference.

The important thing is to use the writing of
people who started a little bit before you as a model.

✔ Getting energy
　from the writing of seniors

I read through the articles of people who
started a little bit before me.

The reason is just one thing...

“To convince myself of the articles I write.”

It is truly a world of self-satisfaction.

I would read the articles of those who started before me and...

“So this is the structure of the article...”
“Oh... so this is how I should write it.”
“This is an easy-to-read article—I wonder why.”

and so on, searching for what I
was lacking while reading.

As I did that, I remember naturally
gaining confidence in myself.

Also, though it may be a poor choice of words,
“It’s okay to post an article like this too”
—it also lowers the hurdle for posting.

✔ How can I
find people who started earlier?

The key is that person's "follower count".

Whenever I found an interesting article, I would
"check the account's follower count".

I tried to use
"people with a follower count close to my own" as a reference as much as possible.

If you are a beginner,
try using "people with fewer than 100 followers" as a reference.

Whatever you do, do not use people with over 1,000 followers as a reference...

What is important is
to have the confidence to post articles.

To that end, let's draw courage from the articles of people who started just a little bit earlier.

✔ Unfinished articles
tell the whole story

I use my PC a lot for creating articles.

Every time I made one,
I would come up with excuses,
and stop my fingers from hitting the keyboard.

Half-finished sentences
question me.

Who do you think would read
an article with such a shaky structure?

Do you think you'll get any likes
with an article where the points are all over the place?

Isn't it a waste of time
to write an article that only eccentric people would read?

Precisely because I wasn't used to posting on note yet,
I felt resistance to pressing the post button.

At times like that, I would first
read other creators'
articles.

I read them to receive courage, confidence,
and inspiration from the articles written.

Then, naturally,
“I want to write”is a feeling I would encounter within myself.

And then,

“I want to reach many people too…
　I'll post more”
I began to think.

The world of note
is full of wonderful creators…

If you are hesitant to post, please
read those
creators' articles.

Supreme writing
will surely give you courage.

If my article can give someone
courage, it would be my greatest joy.

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.
