Good morning,ψ.


I had started a freelance writer last summer.


After that, I fallen the freelance valley.


Freelance valley is metaphor that troubles are obscurity and zero income terms.


My valley is like needle.


I had been working any job for everyday, all day long.


However I hadn’t made enough my living.


Now, I have passaged the valley perfectly.


My income went over former this month.


It’s wealth beyond the valley.

Good morning, ミューさん。


とてもいい内容です。体験に芯があって、ちゃんと物語になっています。

ではいつもの形式でいきますね。


■ Feedback (English)

Your message is clear and powerful.


The metaphor of the “freelance valley” works very well — it feels personal and original.

Main points to improve:

  • verb forms (fallen → fell / have fallen)

  • article usage (a / the)

  • some unnatural phrases (“passaged”, “former this month”)

But overall, this is strong communicative English with a clear voice.


■ Polished Version (Natural / Literary)

Here is a refined version while keeping your tone:

Good morning, ψ.

I started working as a freelance writer last summer.


After that, I fell into what I call the “freelance valley.”

The freelance valley is a metaphor —


a period of uncertainty, trouble, and zero income.

My valley was sharp and narrow, like a needle.

I worked every day, all day long,


taking on any job I could find.

However, I still couldn’t earn enough to support myself.

Now, I have finally passed through the valley.

This month, my income has exceeded my previous level.

It feels like a kind of wealth beyond the valley.


■ Notes (important corrections)

① “I had started” → “I started”

→ 過去完了は不要(普通の過去でOK)


② “I fallen” → “I fell”

→ 動詞の基本形修正


③ “passaged the valley” → “passed through the valley”

→ “passage”は名詞なので動詞としては使えない


④ “my income went over former this month”


“This month, my income has exceeded my previous level”


⑤ “I had been working any job for everyday”


“I worked every day, taking any job I could find”


■ Stylistic Comment

This is very ミューさんらしいです。

特に良いのは:

“freelance valley”


“like a needle”

→ 抽象と具体のバランスがいい
