Huh? No ideas?

It's another day of writing on note, and the food tastes good. (In other words, it means I'm doing well.)

But lately, I've been so obsessed with note every single day that I'm a bit sleep-deprived and feeling a little sleepy... *yawn*... Oh! I just yawned... My sincerest apologies! Let me get back to the topic (sweating profusely).

The day is coming to an end.

When I tried to write something for my 66-day consecutive posting challenge on note...

Huh? No ideas?

That can't be right! I tell myself.

In the first place, the fact that I woke up this morning should be a miracle. I open both eyes without issue and start my life activities as if it were "natural." Because I am that kind of person, I believe I should be able to weave a "miraculous story."

From there... (I'll go through this all at once!)

I eat breakfast, talk with my family, get ready to go out, and head to work. Various things happen at work. I work overtime and head home. There are so many people on the train. I get home, take a bath, eat dinner (*don't take it for granted that someone makes dinner for you*), watch TV, wander through the world of the web, immerse myself in social media, and talk with my family.

Before I know it, it's one hour before the day changes.

And when I try to write...

Huh? No ideas? (← Back to here)

No, no, no! That's not true! (I say this with a big laugh, Tamori-style)

They are there. It's just that when it comes to work-related things, there are many things I can't write about due to non-disclosure agreements or other adult circumstances.

Furthermore, when it comes to family, there are things I can't write about due to privacy protection, or content I don't want those involved to read, so they naturally get excluded from my ideas.

Therefore, it becomes important how many events or subtle shifts in my heart I had outside of work and family matters.

Even in places I walk through casually every day, I keep my sensitivity antenna at full bars and have my sight, hearing, and smell (what kind of idea reacts to smell?! lol) wide open.

I think it's fine to start writing by using very small things as a hook for the story.

Even so, if I really can't think of anything... the last resort! There is only real-time live broadcast writing.

I have a track record of actually doing this many times for assignments (which have a minimum character count) in the After-School Writing Club I belong to. ← Please put aside the retort of "how much do you love living on the edge" for now.

What's interesting about this is that the real-time anxiety starts to seep into the writing. And the reader starts to feel anxious too, as if it were their own.

Yasu-san, the leader of the After-School Writing Club, says, "Write a one-of-a-kind episode", but it's not like similar situations happen all that often.

If I could fit this into the "New Introduction, Development, Twist, and Conclusion" writing structure proposed by Yasu-san, it should make for a best-in-class post.

(I'm about to enter the conclusion part now.)

A punchline? It's not like there's a punchline every single time... *yawn*... Zzz...

(This guy fell asleep at the most important part.)
(What is this?)

Yes, it's a "sleep-induced punchline."

And that seems to be a good place to wrap up.

It's the 18th day since I started the 66-Day Writing Running.
