I want to be a novelist

3/3 Edited to

... Read more私もかつて小説家を目指していた頃、オタク趣味と創作活動を両立させるのに苦労しました。例えば、キャラクターグッズ(アクスタなど)をただ集めるだけでなく、『開けて飾ることでインスピレーションを高める』という方法を試していました。目の前に好きなキャラクターがいると、自然と創作意欲が湧いてくるんですよね。 また、『食べたあとに片付けをはじめる』という小さな習慣も、集中力を維持する上で意外に効果的だと感じました。創作の合間にだらっとしてしまう時間を減らし、メリハリをつけることで、文字を書く時間を確保しやすくなります。 個人的に心に残っているのは、「世界を救うキャラに心を躍らせ、黙って1文字でも書けヨッシー」というフレーズです。好きな作品の熱量を自分の執筆に転換することで、筆が止まってしまう時もやる気を呼び戻せました。オタク部屋のごちゃごちゃ感は創作のエネルギー源でもあるので、無理に整理しすぎず、自分なりの居心地の良い空間づくりをおすすめします。 新人作家志望やオタククリエイターの皆さんも、好きなことを愛しながら毎日少しずつ文字を書き続けていくことが大切だと実感しています。創作は孤独ですが、同じ志の仲間とSNSやvlogで繋がれば、刺激や励ましも得やすくなります。今日も一緒に書き続けましょう!
