I tried rewriting the opening of a common side-hustle article in the style of 10 famous authors

When reading articles about side hustles,
the openings are often strangely similar.

It is a standard format that begins with anxiety or a sense of lack.

This time, I used AI to reconstruct the openings of common side-hustle articles
in the style of famous authors.

「知識なし」「スキルなし」「経験なし」
そんな状態から、まずは0→1達成までを記録していきます。
たいしたものは何もないけど、だからこそ残せる過程がある。
同じように止まっている誰かの参考になればうれしいです。

I will look at how the impression changes
when those similar opening sentences are rewritten.

When the writing style changes,
even with the same content, the temperature, the weight,
and the way it is read also change.

Conversely, by looking at that,
clues to avoid
cliché openings also become visible.

1. Keigo Higashino Style

Knowledge, skills, experience.

The fact that it was all zero,
I decided to write down on note with cold detachment.

This is a record of an experiment,
of how a person with nothing creates a result of '1'.

This mediocre process might someday become
a perfect guidepost for someone who is standing still.

2. Kotaro Isaka Style

Zero knowledge, zero skills, zero experience.

A perfect three outs.

That is exactly why a record of snatching a 1
from here has value.

Look, someone who is standing still might see this
and mistakenly think, 'Hey, I can do this too,' right?

3. Jun Ikeido Style

I have no knowledge. I have no skills. I have no experience.

That was everything I was.

However, I had no intention of being ashamed of
starting from zero.

On the contrary, precisely because I had nothing,
what I built from here would be the real thing.

That is what I believed.

I am leaving this record for the sake of
someone who is stuck in the same place.

There is nothing spectacular here.

But I believe that there is value
in the gritty process itself.

4. Shion Miura Style

I have no knowledge or skills.

To top it off, I have no experience either.

I have decided to record here the journey of how I somehow managed to squeeze out a '1' from this astonishing lack of everything.

It is a trivial record, but I would be happy if it could serve as some kind of guidepost for someone who has accidentally stopped in the middle of the maze called life.

5. Tomihiko Morimi Style

Knowledge, skills, experience.

Such clever things are not possessed by a fool like me at all.

It is truly a refreshing zero.

However, I will crawl from this state of having nothing and finally achieve a '1'.

Writing down the events that led up to this
will surely be a great comfort
to all of you who are at your wit's end in a four-and-a-half-mat room.

6. Natsuhiko Kyogoku Style

To have no knowledge
means to know nothing at all.

To have no skills
means to be able to do nothing at all.

To have no experience
means to have accumulated nothing at all.

Then I ask you.

What does it mean
for such a person to start something?

The answer is simple.

You start from zero.

From zero to one.

It is neither more nor less than that.

And I shall record that process here.

There is nothing of great significance.

However, precisely because there is nothing of great significance,
there is something that can be left behind.

If it can be of some small help to someone who is stuck,
that is enough.

7. Hiroshi Mori Style

Knowledge, skills, experience.

First, let us define that all of these variables
are at an initial value of zero.

To record the process by which a zero system
obtains an output of '1'.

There is no special data, but I assume that the
log of this calculation itself
could potentially be the trigger to restart another system currently in a halted state.

8. Shinichi Hoshi Style

I realized that I possessed neither knowledge, skills,
nor experience.

I was, quite literally, a complete zero.

However, I did not give up, and
I began to meticulously record the actions
I took to somehow obtain that '1'.

Thinking that perhaps, someday,
it might be useful to someone else
who has come to a standstill just like me.

9. Jiro Asada Style

I don't have anything as fancy as
knowledge or skills.

Experience is like a dry wind; if it blows,
it just blows away.

But listen, I think I'll leave behind a record here of how a hollow person like me got covered in mud
to scrape together a 'one'.

If it serves as even a little bit of encouragement
for someone standing frozen by the side of the road, then I've achieved my goal.

10. Yusuke Yamada Style

No knowledge, no skills, no experience.
That was me, taking the first step.

Honestly, I was scared.
But I had to do it.

This record is the realistic process
of going from zero to one.

There's nothing amazing about it.

But I thought that was fine.

If someone who is still standing still somewhere
reads this and thinks, 'Maybe I'll try it too,'
then that is more than enough.

Summary

When the writing style changes,
even a standard opening looks different.

By seeing the difference,
you can also find hints to avoid cliché introductions.
