[Certified Social Worker] In the midst of a 'writer's block' crisis, I finally reached 600 followers!

I received a message saying, 'You have posted for 10 consecutive months.'

Already 10 months.
Still only 10 months.

Time seems to be passing by so quickly.

And, before I knew it, I finallyreached 600 followers!

Yet, for me, I was in a real pinch,

stuck in a 'can't write on note' syndrome.

1. What does 'can't write' mean?!

I started on note in August 2025.

I began as a complete beginner, and for the first two weeks, I desperately wrote and updated an article every single day.

At my core,

🌸I love to write!🌸

Because I had that feeling, writing on note was a lot of fun.

And even now, I still find writing on note to be very enjoyable.

Often, the typical worries about note are:

✅Running out of topics
✅No reaction even after updating articles
✅Cannot monetize paid articles

These are often cited, but I am able to turn even the smallest experiences or feelings into 'topics,' and

very thankfully, whenever I update an article, I receive many 'likes' and 'comments,' so I haven't really felt the worry of having no reaction, and

in these 10 months, I have been able to monetize my paid articles, and in fact, there isn't a single article that I couldn't monetize, so I truly have nothing but 'gratitude' for those who always support me.

Writing it like this might make me sound 'very arrogant,' but yes, honestly, a little while ago, I was genuinely thinking, 'I don't have any worries about note, do I? (lol)'

But you see,

It finally happened to me.

To me, too.

I would open my computer intending to update my note article, but then I'd think, 'I can't write,' and time would just slip away.

(2) The feeling of 'the thread snapping'

I can't think of any particular reason for it.

It's true that things have been a bit hectic since the start of the new fiscal year, but

I was setting aside time to write notes, so it wasn't a case of 'not having enough time.'

As for topics, I should have had plenty to write about based on my past experiences and the various things I'm feeling right now, but

still, I 'couldn't write.'

Why me, of all people??

I felt that perhaps the feelings I had when writing this previous article were somehow carrying over into my note writing as well.

Originally, when I first started note,

🌸I wanted to write articles that would be useful for passing the Certified Social Worker National Examination
🌸I wanted to support those taking the Certified Social Worker National Examination

These two desires were my motivation.

Because,

I had this preconceived notion that 'the Certified Social Worker National Examination is a difficult qualification to obtain.'

However, once I opened the lid, the moment 'I' felt that it was no longer difficult at all, something just snapped and

'Ah, the thread has snapped.'

It is a fact that I thought that.

This paid article, which I wrote for the first time, has been purchased by many people, but

☆Related Articles☆

I started to think, 'At this point, even if I don't write articles like this, and even if I don't study this desperately, anyone can pass if they just study a little, right?'

I even lost my attachment to this article that I had written with confidence.

Up until now, I haven't just been posting about the 'Certified Social Worker National Exam,' but also sharing the experiences and feelings I've gained from working in welfare facilities for 20 years, so I thought, 'Isn't it okay if I don't stick to just
national exam preparation'?

I thought that was all there was to it, but

In the first place, I think I had gradually started to wonder, 'Is there any point?' in posting while calling myself a 'Certified Social Worker'.

🌸Pride as a 'Certified Social Worker'
🌸Pride as a 'Practical Training Instructor'

I felt as if the thoughts I had cherished had been completely denied,

✅I want to write but I can't
✅I have time but I can't write

I had fallen into this situation.

Last time, I was able to update an article with words that suddenly came to me,

and because I am able to update articles like this even now, I have recovered a little from my 'note writer's block'.

③ Turn a 'pinch' into a positive

However.

It was here that I finally understood the feelings of those who struggle with note.

Yes, until now, I really used to say things like,

✅Why can't you write?
✅'Not being able to write' is just an excuse, right?
✅If you can't write, isn't it your choice to just stop?

or things of that nature, but after experiencing 'not being able to write' myself, I finally learned that,

'Not being able to write' is painful.

I learned that.

I'm sure the reasons for 'not being able to write' are truly different for everyone; some people may have run out of time, while others may truly feel they have 'no ideas left,' and

whether you continue or stop is up to you.

So, I also had the option to 'stop' this time.

But I didn't give up.

Because,

I decided for myself when I first started note that I would 'keep writing note.'

I didn't want to easily give up on something I had decided to do.

That's why, even when my article updates were lagging, I kept doing things like,

✅Doing the bare minimum of 'likes' in my spare time
✅Commenting on fellow creators' work as much as possible

I searched for the minimum I could do right now and kept at it steadily every day.

'Steady and modest effort' is a specialty of social work professionals.

My conviction that the underlying strength of social work professionals and the specialty of 'steady and modest effort' are a perfect match for note was not wrong.

And, the most important thing.

🌸Being close to the other person
🌸Empathizing with the other person

I should have known the importance of this mindset from my daily work, but having experienced 'writer's block' myself this time, I have felt the importance of 'empathy' deep in my bones.

Therefore, I decided to take this 'writer's block' crisis and turn it into a positive, sharing my authentic self on note.

By shifting my perspective,

as a result, I am now able to write on note again like this.

(4) Nothing but 'gratitude'

I was suffering from a severe case of 'note writer's block,' so even though I had been in the top 3 for the search term 'Certified Social Worker' for the past few months,

my ranking gradually dropped before I knew it.

It was sad to see my ranking drop, but even so,

I absolutely did not want to write 'half-hearted articles'

No matter how much time passed, I decided to wait until I could write articles like I used to,

🌸filled with passion
🌸filled with my thoughts
🌸firmly conveying my 'convictions'

until I could write such articles, I decided to just 'wait'.

That is how much note was a place I truly loved.

When I looked at my creator page after a long time, I realized thatI had surpassed 600 followers.

For this, I have nothing but'gratitude'!

To everyone who supports me like this, thank you so much, as always.

Over these ten months,

✅people who left note
✅people I met anew on note
✅people whose article updates slowed down
✅people who continue to update daily

There have truly been many meetings and partings with various people, but

even so, I want to praise myself for the fact thatI was able to 'continue' for ten whole months like this.

And now, I'm actually looking forward a little bit to what will happen in two months, when I reach the milestone of my 'one-year anniversary of starting note' (lol).

In closing...

When you are wavering between choices,

I often hear the phrase, 'Whichever you choose, it's both the right answer and the wrong one.'

This is something I always tell myself, but when it comes to 'worrying' or 'thinking' about something, from small things to big things, and you have to 'choose' one or the other,

outside of subjects like math or physics where there are numbers, it is often the case that,

whichever you choose is the right answer
whichever you choose is the wrong answer

is true.

There are 'good things and negative things' in everything, and how you can perceive them as 'good things' is what is important for living your life from that point on.

It's just note
but it's also note

Since I went to the trouble of starting it, since my articles have been piling up, and since I've made 'note friends,'

I learned this time that instead of easily choosing the option to 'quit,' if you feel like you 'can't write,' having the courage to change your ideas or content will allow you to start writing with a fresh perspective again.

From now on, I think I will continue to write articles while occasionally mixing in my own state of mind and my thoughts regarding note.

Thank you for reading until the end today as well!

Unlike usual, I wrote mainly about my own state of mind, so I was super nervous and it took a lot of courage, but even so, I am truly glad that I wrote this article.

And,I have upgraded to someone who can deeply empathize with and support the feelings of those who are similarly struggling with 'I can't write!'

Writing about things other than 'welfare' once in a while is a good change of pace, isn't it? (lol)

Thank you always for the many likes and comments.

There are other small things I felt when I thought 'I can't write,' so I would like to write about those things as well.

Please be sure to follow me and wait for the next update!
