The Lesson About Writing

Writing is good. I like writing..

Pertama kali mengenal menulis (di blog) pada awal bangku perkuliahan, I feels good. Very very good.

Bayangkan saja, saya pernah di bayar Rp. 800 ribu untuk satu artikel yang saya tulis.

Engga sombong, cuma kasih tau aja. :p

After 10 years, I think, saya menemukan sebuah pembelajaran dalam menulis.

Sebuah pembelajaran yang membuat saya akhirnya kembali lagi menulis, after a very very not long time ago..

The lesson is

Don’ t write when you feel happy, and don’t write too, when you feel sad.

Write when you feel stable.

I used to delete my happy post when I feel sad, and vice versa.

There is no why. You know why.
