Shakespeare boleh bilang, “What is a name.” Namun, bagi segelintir orang, nama adalah sesuatu yang sakral. Orang tua tidak boleh asal-asalan memberi nama kepada si bayi. Nama anak harus punya arti yang bagus, karena nama sama dengan doa.

Is Join A Writer Community That Important?
Nah, I don’t think so. You don’t have to join a writer community to become a writer. However, if you want to enhance your writing, this is not a bad idea at all. It doesn’t matter whether it’s physical community or online community, the writing community has always following advantage.
Take A Look Around for Writing Inspiration
Pretty often, we the writers are attacked by a so-called laziness virus. Doing research for the next story for a time bores us too. It’s stressful! How to make a story without feel it as a burden? If it’s your question (and was mine), here the dos list I suggest:
- Go out. Take adventure beyond the routines. Like Jean-Mari Gustave Le Clézio, the 2008’s Nobel Prizewinner in the field of literature, did. It will give you things to write.
- Listen to other’s story. You will amaze how your ordinary friends have quite interesting experience. At least, it can be a trigger for your work.
- You love the songs? Ok. Listen to the lyrics, not merely the music. Sometime it’s inspiring enough as a starting point.
- Or, just take a look around you. Believe it or not, every object near you has a meaning. You just need to be more critical and imaginative about objects that used to be insignificant to you.
