Hosted by Mame-san! I will answer all 10 questions 😺 A glimpse into my own position

I decided to participate in this project through my interactions with a close follower.

I would like to take this opportunity to answer the "10 questions to look back on note," have Mame-san analyze them later, and objectively grasp my current position.

10 questions to look back on note

I tried answering each of the "10 questions to look back on note" prepared by Mame-san~ 😺

Please note that I would like to write these answers in a somewhat casual tone.

Q1: What is your best article of the year?

Generally, I think the best article refers to one with many likes or views, but in my case, I chose an article that left an impression on me when I wrote it.

There was a time when I thought about quitting note, and a word from a follower saved my heart 😄

If I hadn't interacted with my followers, I would almost certainly have quit note.

To a first-time reader, it might look like a somewhat negative article, but for me, by looking at the article objectively again, I can visualize what I am lacking.

Q2: What are you particular about in your titles?

When I started note, I wasn't very particular about titles.

As I work as a writer, I was wondering whether to include SEO, but I have gradually realized through interacting with followers whether SEO works on note.

Of course, I prioritize thinking from the reader's perspective first, and 'SEO for note' comes second when I structure things.

It is said that 80% of whether or not your article gets read is decided by the title, so I do place a lot of importance on deciding the title.

Q3: How do you usually choose your thumbnails?

When I don't have time, I use the 'Everyone's Photo Gallery' on note, but I try to make my own thumbnails as much as possible.

I mainly use Canva to finalize them.

In the case of a series of articles, I just tweak the text a little and keep the main image the same (like Vol. 2 or 3).

Q4: What 'self-discovery' have you gained from writing?

Perhaps the fact that I've been able to keep it up every day, surprisingly.

Also, explaining from a writer's perspective, I often write SEO articles, but when writing articles on note, I've realized that if I don't write in a way that conveys things to the reader, I sometimes can't get my point across well.

That was a new 'realization' for me.

And I also realize through continuing to use note that the articles I write are becoming useful to someone else.

Q5: Where do you find ideas for your content?

It depends on the genre of the article I'm writing, but the types of articles I want to write on note are actually already established.

In the beginning, I just wrote down whatever came to mind after looking at other people's articles, but now I sometimes find ideas through 'interaction' as well.

Also, I use things I think 'Oh, this could be useful!' as topics, so in terms of finding ideas, it's quite broad, ranging from my daily life to things generated in the process of interacting with others on note 😺

Q6: Which other people's articles have inspired you?

Since I interact with people on note, there are many articles that have inspired me, but having my own articles introduced in a way that truly showed me what they are was a great 'inspiration'.

I hate to say it myself, but through that article, I learned things about myself that are hard to perceive on my own, so I truly understood that 'those who watch will see'.

Q7: What is something new you want to challenge yourself with next year?

To be frank, it is to launch a membership.

Preparation is necessary for that.

I have watched from the sidelines as people launched memberships without enough preparation and failed, so as the saying goes, 'better safe than sorry,' I intend to launch my membership after careful preparation.

Q8: What do you want to obtain next year?

I think about various things, but if Windows 12 comes out, I would like to replace my computer.

A computer is an essential tool for a writer, so the timing of replacing it is important.

It might seem like I want to answer 'money,' but that is definitely not the case.

Q9: What message do you want to convey to your readers?

The articles I publish are broadly varied, ranging from generative AI images to quizzes.

Therefore, I am aware that the audience who 'likes' my work varies.

Also, once I decide on a project or a publishing schedule, it is in a sense a 'promise to the readers,' so I do not want to do anything that would break that promise.

And I want to interact more and become friends with people in the same situation as me 😺

Q10: Where do you want to be in one year?

Unless something major happens, I think I will still be continuing on note.

And hopefully, it would be ideal if I could become someone others can rely on, based on my various difficult experiences.

Conclusion: I tried writing down my current self in text

I discovered Mame-san's project through Hikarun, one of my precious followers.

It was a bit difficult to actually write it out, but I'm glad I participated because putting it into text, including my future plans, allowed me to visualize it 😊

I want to continue sharing information on note without losing sight of "myself."

I look forward to your continued support 😊
