《Registration Closed! Starting Monday, 4/20! Open to Everyone》 Starting a 66-week consecutive posting event. It might change the angle of your life a little. 《Comment below to join》

The phrase 'consecutive posting' carries a slight hint of athletic sweat.

Just hearing '66 consecutive days' makes me feel like a sports drink has been placed on the desk and a motivated towel is draped around my neck; even though I haven't started anything yet, I already feel a bit accomplished.

Numbers have that kind of sloppy magic, don't they? The days you've stacked up are visible. People like things they can see.

Running charts stuck to the refrigerator, reading logs, consecutive learning records on vocabulary apps—all those things highlight our small self-esteem with a fluorescent pen.

But you know, when you write every day, one day you suddenly get a strange feeling.

Even though I'm writing this much, life doesn't exactly change like a movie trailer.

No epic music plays, and I don't suddenly become a bestseller in the next scene. The difference between yesterday's self and today's self is often just whether or not I was wearing my socks inside out.

Post every day, finish every day. The articles increase. But there are days when I can't see what is growing from that.

Especially now. Text written by AI doesn't have much of a sense of life. You don't see the human messiness—like a candy wrapper dropped in the crevice of a sofa, or yesterday's worries left exactly where they were.

Perhaps being good at writing isn't enough. No, it's better to be good, of course. That goes without saying.

But you know, the reason you want to keep reading someone's writing is usually a little deeper than technique.

What makes this person angry? What do they laugh at when they see it? Where do they feel lonely? People are drawn to that kind of body heat before it's neatly organized.

Just writing blindly every day doesn't necessarily change your life. It's not that the quantity is bad, but if it's only quantity, it's easy to lose sight of what you are looking for.

If so, why not try changing the approach a little?

It doesn't have to be every day. Once a week is fine. In exchange, keep it up for a long time. 66 weeks. Looking at the number alone, it suddenly smells like a club room. It's a length that feels like preparations for a school festival are about to begin.

That length might be good. Daily posting is a competition of momentum, but 66 weeks of once-a-week posting turns life itself into the competition venue.

There are weeks when you were busy. Weeks when you felt down. Weeks when things went well, and weeks that seemed like nothing happened. You go through all of that and put out one piece. That is where that person's way of living shows.

When people have a goal, they can move toward it.

A goal makes you take a step forward even on shaky days. Write one piece by next week. Just having that promise changes how today looks.

The scenery passing by on the train catches your eye a little more. The gestures of people lining up at the convenience store linger in your mind. A trivial word from a conversation with family shines later on.

When you have plans to write, you stop taking the world for granted.

That is why I am holding the 66-week consecutive posting event.

I don't want to hold a grit competition. I don't mean to say you should suffer properly every week. Besides, suffering comes on its own. It comes even if I don't send out a polite invitation.

That's not it; I want to change how you see life by having a long-term goal.

There are things you can't see in a sprint. If you plant a flag far away, the way you handle the week in front of you changes. You don't have to end today as a 'day where nothing happened'.

In my membership, the 'After-School Writing Club,' I will provide prompts to change the future.

Even if I call them prompts, they aren't themes flying down from the stage of a composition contest. They are closer to daily life.

Things that are bothering you right now. Discomfort you can't quite put into words. Scenery you've been overlooking. They are for shining a little light on those things.

Actually, when people are too free, they can't write. If you are stood on a wide sandy beach and told to 'run as you like,' the first thing that happens is sand gets in your shoes. A prompt decides the direction to run just once. Then, while the hesitation doesn't disappear, you can move forward even while hesitating.

Changing the future through writing doesn't mean suddenly becoming famous.

It's more modest. It's about things like finding it harder to deceive your own feelings than before, understanding what you were hurt by, or being able to pick up scenery you used to let pass by—that's the kind of change.

That modest change is the most effective.

Humans can't suddenly become someone else. But if you place your own outline on paper one by one every week, one day, you will start to feel like you are walking on your own a little more properly than before.

A goal is a flag to change your life, and posting is the footprint leading to that flag.

Footprints are very modest. They only increase one by one. Moreover, they fade if it rains.

Even so, there is scenery that can only be seen when looking back at footprints that were kept up properly.

I wrote a lot that week. I was quite lost during that period. Even so, I kept posting. Records like that are not just posting history, but evidence of how you lived your life.

It's okay if you haven't become someone after 66 weeks.
It would just be nice if you could believe in your own words a little more than you do now.

There probably isn't such a thing as a week where nothing happens. You just haven't picked them up; seeds for reasons to write are dropped in every week.

This is a project to go pick them up together.

Once a week, place your own outline.
I am looking for participants for that long experiment.

'66 Weeks of Writing × Running'

Let's see. Let's start once a certain number of people have gathered. It wouldn't be interesting with just 2 or 3 people.

Please spread the word lol
