I really miss traveling. . I miss the adventures waiting for me at the corner of every street. I miss the sudden snowstorm that froze my fingertips as I rushed to find shelter. I miss the poignantly quiet, crackling sound of crushed ice beneath a nearby moving truck. . It's a good thing that nothing happened to me when I visited Japan at the beginning of 2020. With the pandemic still going on in Indonesia--it's scary to think what could happen to us; it's those people behind the TV screens today, but no one can guarantee it wouldn't be us tomorrow. . Stay safe, everyone. And please have hope. I know it's stressful for everyone, but I'm leaving you with this quote from Polaris Musim Dingin, spoken by one of my favorite characters I've ever written: . "Hiduplah untuk satu hari lagi. Berjuanglah untuk satu hari lagi. Tidak perlu satu tahun. Tidak perlu satu bulan. Fokuslah untuk berjuang satu hari lagi. Kemudian satu hari lagi. Dan seterusnya. Kau akan sadar kalau hidup ternyata tidak seburuk yang kaukira." ❄️ . #alicialidwina #polarismusimdingin #japanwinter #japanwintertrip #selfquarantine #socialdistancing #physicaldistancing #wanderlust #novellokal #novelindonesia

Social Distancing. . Membatasi interaksi sosial dengan sesama sebisa mungkin; mengikuti gerakan #dirumahaja untuk memutuskan rantai penularan COVID-19. . Semoga teman-teman semua sehat dan dilindungi dari penyakit, ya. Jaga kesehatan selalu, dan jangan lupa pantau berita dan imbauan-imbauan dari pemerintah dan kantor/sekolah/lembaga setempat. . Aku sendiri memutuskan untuk work from home sebisa mungkin, dan menghabiskan waktu di akhir pekan dengan kegiatan-kegiatan dalam rumah yang biasanya aku "telantarkan": bersih-bersih, menulis jurnal, memasak, dan tentunya membaca buku. . ❄️❄️❄️ . #amwriting #bukugpu #bukubaru #novelbaru

What is your favorite season? . Having experienced both tropical and non-tropical climates, I'd have to say I like autumn the best. It's generally cool, but not freezing cold. And there is no snow impeding your steps. . Let's face it, guys. Snow is only beautiful in pictures and photographs. In real life, they drench you in no time, get in your eyes every time you're about to take a photo, and trip you so you fall more often on its slippery surface. . This photo was taken moments before I climbed the snowy slopes, only to discover that the ropeway to Hakodate Mountain was closed due to strong winds. 😭 . Well life is never perfect, huh? I had planned my trip around sightseeing the cityscape during the night from Hakodate Mountain, but reality hit hard. Sometimes things just don't go according to plan. . And it's okay that way. . Yes, it sucks. But it's okay. Look at me--at least I got to take this beautiful picture of a snow-sprayed city! ❄️♥️ . #alicialidwina #winter2020 #wintertrip #japanwinter #japanwinterwonderland #winterphotography #winterlandscape #amateurphotography

Reading all the heartfelt messages about #PolarisMusimDingin made me feel relieved that I got around to actually publishing it. I was conflicted for the longest time, but @tsaputrasakti you were right; every book has its own readers. And while the book has only been out for a couple of months, I do hope that it will arrive at the hands of readers who will cherish it. . #alicialidwina #novellokal #noveljepang #novelbaru #writersofinstagram #otarustation #japantravel #hokkaidotrip #winterphotography #winter2020
