Belakangan ini, saya lagi nggak mood nulis. Kalau ditanya kenapa, alasannya banyak: kerjaan yang menggunung, baju kotor yang menunggu dicuci, bahan makanan yang menanti dimasak. Kalau saya diberi waktu untuk menjelaskan kenapa saya nggak mood nulis, saya rasa saya bisa menghabiskan setengah jam sendiri untuk mencoba menjelaskannya. Tapi, terlepas dari jawaban yang keluar dari mulut…
I don’t know why, but I just have this very strange attraction towards somebody else’s wishlist. Not to be confused with being covetous or anything, but there’s just something so inspiring and weirdly… whimsical about seeing what sparks creativity and productivity in someone else—even more so if the person is a creative. You know, like…
I’m going to be brutally honest; I never had any intentions of publishing “Polaris Musim Dingin”. It’s true, you can ask my editor about it. It took months for me to let the very idea of publication simmer in my head before I finally relented, and let the book meet its readers.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram lately, you’ll know that I’m currently planning for my next novel project. It’s a long time coming project, since the last time I published a novel was at the end of 2017—I couldn’t even remember how many times readers and my editor had asked me if I was…
If you’re a writer, or an artist in general, it’s imperative that you take care of yourselves from time to time. I’ve talked about how you could decompress during a busy week, which are the small things you could do every single day to keep your stress levels in check. I’ve also talked about going…

It’s that time of the year again. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, there’s got to be something to look forward to during this end-year. I personally love December. Not only do I get some time off from work, but I also get to spend my days celebrating the holiday season with my family. There’s…
With the coming of December, this means I have been posting regularly on my blog every single week for one whole year. Okay, maybe more than a year. Back in 2017, when I challenged myself to be more active in this blogosphere, I half-expected myself to quit halfway through, just like how I usually do my…
Lately, I’ve noticed that my schedule has been getting more and more congested. While I could manage to write blog posts every week in the past, nowadays it feels like I’m straining my brain in order to produce words. And I can’t really blame it on myself, can I? People get busy; some of you…
The other day, I saw the news about the JT610 plane crash. This wasn’t the first time a plane crash had happened, of course, but as I scrolled the feed on my Twitter and Instagram, I had come to realize that more and more people were posting news about the incident. I found it fascinating,…
