How to Write Articles by Working Backward from Reader Emotions | Techniques for Moving Hearts

Hello, this is Nakashi🌱

Actually, I always failed high school Japanese. I was terrible at writing essays and thought, 'Writing is impossible for me...'
But now, I update my note daily with AI as my partner is

Do you have the worry, 'I can write information, but it just doesn't resonate...'?

When I first started note, I worked hard writing about knowledge and know-how, but I was discouraged by the lack of response.

One day, I analyzed popular articles and realized that the secret lies not in the 'content' but in 'how to move emotions'. that.

In this article, I will introduce a concrete method for writing while designing the reader's emotional curve.

※For those interested in note monetization, attracting customers, and creating note articles using ChatGPT👇


Write after drawing the reader's emotional curve

An article is not a list of information, but an emotional story.

First, let's decide, 'What kind of emotional change do I want the reader to experience?'

  • Introduction: Make them think 'I want to read more' through surprise, empathy, and raising a problem

  • First half of the body: Empathize with their worries and make them feel relieved that 'they understand me'

  • Second half of the body: Present solutions or hints and make them feel 'hope'

  • Conclusion: Propose an action and close with a positive feeling of 'let's try it'

Example:
Draw out empathy with 'Don't you have this worry?', and show hope with 'I was the same, but I changed like this.'
Finally, give them a push by saying 'You can do it starting today.'

If you are conscious of this curve, readers will naturally read to the end.


3 triggers to move emotions

① Empathy trigger

Include a phrase that makes them think, 'This is about me.'

  • Describe specific situations

  • Verbalize emotions

  • Speak for the reader's concerns

Example: "Have you ever started a note, only to stop posting after three days?"

② Learning Trigger

Present information that makes the reader think, "I see!"

  • Include numbers and data

  • Use concrete examples and diagrams

  • Explain knowledge and reasons as a set

Example: "It is said that including three headings increases the average completion rate by 20%."

③ Action Trigger

Make a suggestion that makes the reader think, "I want to try that!"

  • Suggest a small step you can take starting today

  • Show a concrete, easily achievable goal

Example: "First, try writing down the three steps from this article in a memo before writing your next post."


Writing techniques that focus on emotion

Writing that moves emotions has several common points.

  • Keep sentences short: Creates rhythm and improves readability

  • Use noun-ending sentences: Leaves an aftertaste and makes an impression

  • Include sensory descriptions: Describing scenery, smells, and sounds creates a sense of realism

  • End on a positive note: Helps the reader feel optimistic

Bad example: "It's meaningless unless it's perfect"
Good example: "Let's start by putting it out there at 60%"

The tone of your words can significantly change a reader's emotions.


Emotion Design Template

Before writing an article, jotting down this template once can help organize the flow of emotions.

【導入】驚きや共感で引き込む
【問題】読者の悩みを明確にする
【共感】「私も同じだった」と寄り添う
【解決策】具体的な方法を提示
【まとめ】行動を提案し、前向きに締める

Following this flow will greatly increase the probability that your article will be read to the end.


Practice Method for Writing by Working Backward from Emotions

Since it is difficult to design emotions perfectly from the start, the following method is recommended for practice.

  1. Read back through past articles and imagine how the reader feels.

  2. Use a red pen to note parts where you could increase empathy or provide more reassurance.

  3. Revise and try reposting.

This alone will change the reader's reaction.

I have also practiced this and experienced a doubling in the number of comments.

Summary: Articles that move emotions get read

Readers are moved by "emotions," not just information.

  • Draw an emotional curve before writing.

  • Include triggers for empathy, learning, and action.

  • End on a positive note.

From today, before writing an article, try jotting down a note about "what kind of emotion I want to leave with the person who reads this."

That alone will change your article into something that truly touches the heart.
