A Letter to A Dear Writer Out There


           Hello mbak Dina, it’s really nice to have a chance to communicate with you through this letter. I have read your story and I got to admit that I immediately admire your success in dealing those problems. Don’t be sad. Don’t regret your life because what called as a life is when you must go through pain to gain. It is when you understand what happiness is after tasting the bitterness. Ah, but there is no need to define what life is because as you spend time to define, life keeps going on.

A Dialogue through the Wind

Me       : Good morning, cloud. How are you today?

Cloud  : Not awesome, girl. I got to pour rain frequently as the weather is very hot lately.

Me       : It’s good then. Why do you look sad?

Cloud  : Good? What’s good about shattering yourself into raindrops and scattered apart by the wind?

[Creative Writing] A Little Piece of My Story



        Firstly, let me tell you that this is going to be a very long, plain and boring story with no prologue, climax nor ending.  I won’t beg you to read until the very last word, so please just click the x button right away when you find this dull and monotonous because this is an ordinary story of an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. Nothing alluring. Nothing inspiring.
