Reflecting on 66 Days of Writing x Running Season 2.

Thank you for coming to read this.

I've been slacking off on the task of reflecting lately.
But I want to leave a record of what I've accomplished.
That's why I, Yuni, decided to reflect today.

66 Days of Writing x Running Season 2 reaches the finish line today!!

To everyone who ran with me, great job!
With this article, I have safely reached the goal.

Let's look back on it right away.

Starting the Writing-Running Challenge

At first, I had momentum.
Since I had experienced the challenge once before, I honestly underestimated it, thinking I could do it again. At this point, I didn't yet know about the period of struggle that was coming.

Tossed around by a slump

It was a period where I struggled because I couldn't write as I wanted.
Two weeks before the deadline for the Creative Awards, I suffered from jealousy over the quality of everyone else's articles. Looking back now, I think it was also a time when I couldn't write freely because I had such strong preconceived notions that 'it had to be this way.' My personal axis regarding writing was wavering.
The slump continued for a while even after the Creative Awards ended. I was seriously considering retiring from the challenge, thinking, 'If writing is this painful...' No, I was even seriously considering withdrawing from Note for a while.
I scheduled four days of posts before a family trip and decided not to post on Note during the trip to put some distance between us.

The family trip that paid off

A few days after returning from enjoying the trip to the fullest, I suddenly wanted to write on Note.
I wrote a travelogue honestly, saying, 'I can't remember it all!' This was selected as one of 'Today's Featured Articles.'

It was so sudden after escaping my slump that I was completely taken aback.
From this point on, the number of days I could write boldly and as I pleased increased.

Getting carried away, I also published this article.

The reason I've been able to continue Note this far is thanks to those who read it and those who provide me with new learning. As a token of my gratitude, I poured out everything I had.

However, I tried too hard on this article and fell into a stagnant mode again...

And that is where I reached the goal of the Writing-Running Challenge.

Personally, despite the twists and turns, I managed to keep writing. Supported by those who read my work, I made it this far.
Thank you so much!
I'm also grateful to Yasu-san for organizing this project!

I'll have 200 consecutive days of posting in three more days, so I think I'll post every day until then.
After that, I haven't decided what to do yet.

But for today, I think it's okay to say, 'Congratulations to me!'
I did a great job.

I am concerned about the typhoon, but today I want to be kind to myself.

Thank you for reading this far.
