The First APSIA Writing Class

Hi there,

Here I come up with the tagline about APSIA writing class. This training program was held on Saturday, February 16, 2013. Here are the details.

There are four great speakers delivering their knowledge and experience in the field of writing.

The first, we had kak Diego Christian. He is the author of a novel entitled with “Percaya”. The main point of him was ‘to be a good writer, you must have a great passion on it, going through and unceasing. Practice and repetition makes perfect’.

He said “High dream is not wrong at all, the wrong one is our short effort on it”

Diego Christian is a distinguished writer of fiction book. He told us notions about writing a fiction story. Here are some:

    Unique diction and narration

    Dialog must be good and exciting to read

    There are two type of description: showing and telling

    Do some research before writing

    Choose and consider reader target

  Start making a good plot

 “Passion is something that you never give up even when the world makes you down”

 
                           Kak Diego Chrsitian

The second speaker on the first session was kak Boim Lebon. Who’s he? He is the writer of “Lupus” series novel. He also write “Masih Bisa Cuma di Republik Mimpi” book. Guess what, he has written more than 100 fiction books. What a wow really!

Quote from him “Sometimes, we don’t need to find a unique story through a long way of searching, we can find it from our ordinary life”

The third great speaker was kak Arry Rahmawan. Arry is a graduate of Engineering Faculty of University of Indonesia. He is the author of “5 Kunci Siswa Hebat”. He writes 500 articles in a year (so productive, right?). He told us some tips to be a productive writer. First, to start writing, we should make a set of vision first. We don’t need to write if we don’t have any passion on what we’re going to write. Just write based on our passion, something that attracted us, something that we really good at. To write a lot, we should read a lot! J

And… we had our last speaker. Yep, she’s Windy Ariestanty. Some of you might have heard about Kambing Jantan authored by our funny writer icon, Raditya Dika. Windy is the editor of Gagas Media which published the book. She is the author of “Life Traveler”. She made some thought-provoking notions we should check out.

“We have to learn better, write better, not just feel better”

“Stop asking means stop seeking”
