I attended the Creative Awards ceremony!

On October 27th, I attended the Creative Awards ceremony held at the note Place in Yotsuya!

When I received the invitation to the ceremony, I was honestly hesitant. As my followers probably know, I am in the middle of rehabilitation after being a shut-in. However, I have recovered quite a bit, I have always liked meeting people, I am the type who wants to make friends, and above all, I thought that such a valuable opportunity doesn't come around often! So, I decided to go. When I was wavering, my husband said, 'I'll take a paid day off and drive you there,' which gave me the extra push I needed, so I decided to attend using the spoiled method of being driven to the venue by car!

The result was,I am so glad I went!!!!!!!!

I was incredibly nervous and my heart was pounding, and since I'm bad at speaking in front of people, my mind went blank and I don't really remember what I said. I felt kind of floaty and ended up grinning, but receiving the trophy from special judge Hotaru Shinkawa was a huge honor, and I was so moved! I was so happy! I thought to myself that this was the first time since my wedding that I had been celebrated by so many people in my life, haha. (Actually, since we only had a family wedding, this was my first time being celebrated in front of such a large crowd!!)

I'm sure the note official team will post an article about the ceremony, so I will share it again when that happens!

A wonderful, substantial trophy and various commemorative items.

What made me even happier was being able to meet so many of my followers! I didn't take any photos at all and left it to others, so I will post the photos that were taken for me.

One thing I really felt after meeting everyone is that there was no one whose personality diverged from the image of their writing. We usually only interact through text, but I realized that the image of their writing and the atmosphere of their work truly reflect their character and personality. Those who write gentle prose are indeed gentle people, and those who write profound prose have that sense of security you get from a mentor in life. I realized once again that one's personality seeps into their writing and work. To everyone who met me yesterday, thank you so much. And I would be happy if we could continue to be friends! (If you have photos taken with me, I would appreciate it if you could DM me on Twitter/X... sorry for leaving it to others💦)

There were also many publishers and editors present, so I greeted them and exchanged business cards. I was floating and flustered the whole time, thinking, 'Things like this really do happen...'

Anyway, it was a fun, amazing day. Thank you so much to note for hosting this.


note really has so many dreams!!!!!!
