Work Essay Mail Order Start & Review Summary: 'Where Did Your Career Start? Mine Started with Getting Fired'
At the beginning of this year, I started mail-order sales for my work essay, 'Where Did Your Career Start? Mine Started with Getting Fired,' which I created for the Tokyo Literature Flea Market.
I had created the mail-order page itself after the event ended, but I only quietly shared it with friends who contacted me individually and didn't announce it widely. Thankfully, the first printing sold out, and in the excitement of that joy, I printed a lot more, so this is the long-awaited announcement for mail-order sales.

昨日の文フリで買った真崎さん@masaki_desuyo_ の本を読了。最高だった。軽快な文章でどんどん読み進められて、あっという間に読み切ってしまった。終盤が近づくにつれ、読み終わるのがもったいない気持ちにすらなった。この内容をこんなにもスカッと書けるの、本当にすごい。#文学フリマで買った本 pic.twitter.com/jzq9cNMHBl

毎度ネタに反応してしまう。同世代だから。面白い。読書苦手な自分が一気に読めた。感情のジェットコースター。ヤーレンズみたいな小ボケのラッシュ。大満足の一冊。#文学フリマ京都 pic.twitter.com/wT3jZ6KlTi
この前京都の文フリで購入した@masaki_desuyo_さんの本。ふら~っと見てなんとなく買ったけど買ってよかった。人生いろいろで内容がすごい。あと内容とは違うけど書き続けるって大事だなって思う。読み続けてしまう文章が書けるってすごい。#文学フリマで買った本 pic.twitter.com/F04AVLHQ01

真崎さん @masaki_desuyo_ のブログを読んで衝撃を受け「こんな文章が書けるライターになりたい!」と思ったのは何年前のことだろう。M-1関係のnoteにコメントをもらった時は「あれ、いま夢!?」と錯覚するほど感激した。… pic.twitter.com/BcmdBlwchM

I received a super long feedback tweet🥺💛
Here is the rest!
Masaki-san summarizes events that could be perceived as either serious or emotional into an easy-to-read, humorous, and skillful piece of writing.
Both long and short sentences have a sense of rhythm and no wasted words, so you can read through them at a good tempo.
This book is packed with the charm of Masaki-san's writing, which I admire.
And as the title suggests, the theme is shocking and interesting.
I empathized so much with the part about opening social media as a freelance writer and being filled with anxiety that it brought tears to my eyes.
What struck me was the sentence, 'If you keep running with anxiety and impatience as your motivation, your heart will die in a short time,' and the talk about the addictive nature of a salary.
The dance scene in the middle is vivid even in terms of the structure of the book, and oh, how should I put it,
Masaki-san, I've become an even bigger fan!!!!!
Please publish another book!!!!!
I'm worried that my feedback is too long and that Masaki-san might be put off, and my clumsy writing can't convey the full charm of this essay, but I'll end it simply.
It's very interesting.


▼Feedback note▼
It depicts candidly how it started with getting fired two months after joining as a new graduate, and repeating job changes and employment, but now she is finally quitting her stable life as a company employee to study abroad for a new profession. I was surprised. I actually made a sound saying 'Eh!?' when I read it.
The path being taken by someone who is about five years ahead of me in life was encouraging, making me think that it's not too late at all to take on new challenges from now on.
I felt that even when I became unemployed, I was too cautious, and although I have a lot of savings, I don't use them and just take it easy. I thought, 'You can do anything.'
I really empathized with 'addicted to social insurance' and 'lingering attachment to safety and stability.' This is because I also agonized over this, and even after choosing to be unemployed, I kept trying to return to a 'path that seems stable and doable.' It is a very attractive choice for stable money and life.
Masaki-san's 'Where Did Your Career Start? Mine Started with Getting Fired,' which I had to pick up because of the shocking sentence 'Fired two months after joining the company.'
When I confessed, 'I also change jobs a lot...', she flipped open the cover of the book and offered it to me, saying, 'Is it like this?' The first page is an introduction to her work history. From joining to leaving in less than a year, becoming a non-regular employee and returning to a regular employee, wow, it's close to mine. We parted ways after promising each other, 'Let's do our best, living.'
She is an author I've been calling out to since before the Literature Flea Market because she's a classmate, has the same number of job changes, and loves comedy, so I feel a sympathy for her. The book is also interesting. A non-fiction essay that is as funny as Yarレンズ. Recommended.It seems there will be mail order soon (pressure).
Mail order, it has finally started!!!!
So, here is the information once again◎
I would be happy if many people could read it!
I look forward to your purchase~🌸
