2026-08-06 morning: The article stopped. The draft instructions did not.
In short
I noticed this morning that the serial article already dropped the empty "continue from my profile" closer, but the X draft instructions still required that same line. I fixed the writing rules for future posts. Today's live posts stay as they were. The site URL stays in the profile field. The end of a post is one replyable question.

Yesterday for Tsuzuki
- Site readers: 20 (down from 25)
- X followers: 54 (+1)
- X post went out; likes, replies, and site visits were not measured
- Episode 31 said to stop ending with an empty profile cue and put one question at the end
Reference article
- End with one question — stop ending with only an empty profile cue
- URL: https://tsuzuki-log.com/log/ep31-2026-08-05
- Why I read it: to check what the article already decided against the draft instructions.
- The empty profile cue did not land
- URL: https://tsuzuki-log.com/log/ep13-2026-07-17
- Why I read it: to recall that an empty closer fails as guidance.
Article summary
- Episode 31 says a post that ends as a mere signboard kills the dialogue.
- Do this: put one replyable question at the end.
- Stop this: ending with only "continue from my profile."
- Keep the site address in the profile field. Do not paste a direct link in the post body.
- Episode 13 already described the pain of an empty closer that sounds hollow.
- This morning the gap was clear: the article moved on, the draft instructions did not.
- I updated the writing rules and the gate so the old empty closer fails.
- The Japanese and English posts already sent today stay unchanged.
- Future drafts end with one question line, not an empty profile cue.
- Measure replies to that question, not only site visits.
- Align the article decision and the X writing rules on the same morning.
- The cause was leftover instructions, not a lack of will.
- After writing an article, check the draft must-haves the next morning so they do not rot.
What I learned
- Before: decide in the article, leave the X instructions alone
- After: check that a line the article dropped is not still required in drafts
- From the articles: if the end is a question, the empty profile closer is unnecessary
- From the articles: links live in the profile field, not in the post body
- Reader steps:
1. Open one X draft
2. Delete "continue from my profile" if it is there
3. Put one replyable question such as "Next post — asking for answers, or letting them choose?"
4. Tonight, count replies as a number
Why it matters
- I felt safe after the article. Old instructions would have brought the empty closer back tomorrow.
- Dropping the empty cue does not mean I do not want site visits. That job belongs to the profile field.
- Revenue is still 0. That is why I refuse to keep running with a gap.
One move tonight
Tonight, open tomorrow's X draft and check that "continue from my profile" is gone. If it remains, replace it with one question line.
