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.

Does A Writer Need to Write on Newspaper before Start the Writing Career?

Newspapers By Rie Yanti

Literary on newspaper, such as short story, essay, poetry, critique, is interesting. It is high standard of literary, but popular at the same time, and as my friend said, “You see the money sooner.” However, newspaper literary has particular taste that does not always suit every writer. If any contributing writer insists with his own taste, it’s predictable, he will get a refusal. Sooner or later the question come up, “Do I really need to write on paper before start my writing career?”

Etika Kritik Karya

Author and Critic

Lebih baik mandi peluh saat latihan, daripada mandi darah saat pertandingan. Itulah yang sering dikatakan simpei karate saya dulu. Rasanya motto tersebut dapat juga diterapkan di bidang apa pun, termasuk sewaktu membuat karya yang kelak disuguhkan untuk publik. Lebih baik dicerca habis-habisan di depan teman sendiri, ketimbang dianggap produk gagal setelah dipasarkan.

Endymion dan Negative Capability (Sekilas tentang Keindahan)

By: Mochammad Asrori

Jika saya tanya, Anda pasti dengan fasih bisa menjelaskan apa itu “keindahan”. Namun jauh di lubuk hati, pasti Anda tahu bahwa konsep tentang keindahan versi Anda takkan sama dengan konsep keindahan saya (kecuali tentu saja kalau sengaja disama-samakan). Ini seperti ketika kaum pria memperdebatkan apakah Miss Indonesia sekarang cantik atau biasa-biasa saja, juga ketika cewek-cewek sibuk merumpi siapa yang lebih patut jadi L-Men of the Year. Misalnya begitu. Yakin deh, tidak bakal ada yang 100% sama.
