Continued 9: Let's Get Right to It and Play Around with the "Note Mandala"

(Click here for the previous article) This is a series, you know!

On the way home. It's Friday night again.

I wanted to go home early, but I had to work overtime.
I'm so tired, Rascal... oh, wait, that's wrong lol
I'm so tired, Patrasche... I can see angels... I'm getting sleepy... Zzz... (← I just fell asleep lol)

So, it's starting again tonight☆
To the final stage of the "Pushy Writing" journey of exploration!

※I will leave the explanation of the "Note Mandala", an invention for "writing for those of us who can't write" proposed by Yas-san, the head of the After-School Writing Club, to previous posts.

What kind of characteristics does the writing I call [Pushy Writing], which I had lined up on the table, have? This is the 8th out of 8 themes that make it up. Finally, the last one!

★ mark... Something I felt I wanted to dig deeper into with this theme. Doing this seems like it will help the Note Mandala expand later.

Red underline... The item I feel is most important among the eight words.

● Puns
→ I am Tatsunoko Ryujiro of the Pun-der Red.
I'm looking for four more members. Please join us if you think you've got what it takes.

Don't make fun of it.
Puns are also profound... probably (lol)

● Rap (rhyming)
→ HEY, writing that carves out a rhythm. Show your guts where you need to hold on. I'll definitely show you a BIG SHOW. N, N, N♪

Wait lol, what is that!

I'm cracking up at "N, N, N♪" while writing it myself. I'm such an idiot.

Rhyming is like a word game that has been played since ancient times.I think it is a writer's mission to carefully protect that DNA. (← Exaggerated)

● Betrayal (playing it cool)
→ What I learned from Yasushi Ueda, the head of the After-School Writing Club I belong to, was huge.Yasushi Ueda

※ Supplement... It's not about saying you shouldn't write the same thing, but aboutthinking about your own unique episode and what you want to convey, which is the main point.

Developing from there, the conclusion I reached in my own way is...

Readers want to read things they have never seen before.

It stems from humancuriosity but I am convinced that it is animportant element that is a genuine need even when I think about it myself.

That's why it leads to"write an episode", and I think it's becausepeople feel joy in the sensation of reading something for the first time.

Furthermore, reading while predicting or reading with expectations. Betraying this part, I believe, leads to something never seen before.

● Impossible
→ Something unrealistic.
I'll say it again because it's important.

Readers want to read something they have never seen before.

But, what's interesting is

It really is.

It can be fact, it can be non-fiction.
Regardless, you should go ahead and write about things that seem "impossible!".

Doesn't just imagining the impossible make you excited?


● Fly high
→ Flying a little bit diagonally above where the reader expects is just the right balance.

If you fly so high that you disappear from view, it will just end with "I can't perceive it... sorry."

Look, you know how it is, right?
I want you to recall your own student days, but when that "someone" you're a little interested in enters your field of vision, your eyes just end up following them.
You try desperately to hide it so those around you don't notice. It's the same as that. (← Is it really the same!?)


● Enjoy yourself
→ Have you ever smirked while writing?
Smirking while writing it yourself. Smirking while re-reading. Smirking when there's a positive reaction. Smirking.

The Smirking Trio. (← Rest assured, I won't bring out the Dom again lol)

When there's a little bit of "playfulness," there are times when writing produces sentences you didn't expect. LET'S ENJOY!!

● Detours
→ This might be close to a culmination of everything I've told you so far.

It's the flow of "foreshadowing" → twists and turns → "payoff" in movies and stories.

Here, a "detour story" that seems completely unrelated at first glance can actually be called a grand foreshadowing of the foreshadowing (foreshadowing squared) to pay off the initial setup.

It requires the premise that the story connects firmly, but why not try a "detour" that's different from usual sometimes?

★ Dancing (Red underline)
→ This is also close to a culmination.
Assuming you are conscious of the aforementioned "rhythm," moving right and left in your writing, sometimes doing backflips.

This is something that naturally happens when you are successfully doing "propulsive writing."

It's what is commonly called "entering the zone."
As the words imply, this likely won't happen unless you are exerting incredible concentration.

Which means, you could also say this.

The writing environment is important

Some people can concentrate even in a crowd, but usually, it's difficult. That's why the environment is important, and I think it's a good idea to try thinking of some kind of personal routine as a ritual for writing.

In my case, it's snack time. (I gain weight without fail)

I think the true nature of 'pushing forward' has revealed almost its entire picture.

Next time, I would like to summarize it, with the premise that it is my own case. Please bear with me a little longer.

So, this post is...

Don't worry! It has been rewritten!
(Nennen-san has a turn this time, thank you for your help)
