The treasure of a writer is to maintain their own style.
From Andrea Hirata
Writing is taking a risk, and it is actually fighting invisible and invincible enemies. They are over-confidence, stupidity, expectation and narcissism.
I am the only one who is not married among my siblings.
I am a working person. I always work, study or do research for my novel. I even work on Sunday.
I want to write books that can truly become a legacy and bring benefits to people.
I am a writer who has a policy to allocate 90 percent of my time for research and the remaining 10 percent to write.
When I was a child, I saw in the news that a person from Belitung had done well in sports in Jakarta, and I just couldn't imagine that it was possible for someone from here to become famous, and it's still very isolated out here.
One of the challenges is creating characters. I am trying to compose my sentences to express epic events happening to ordinary people.
Indonesian writers are so far behind in terms of global exposure compared with the Philippines and Japanese writers.
As a writer, I can't really take days off. Writing is like creating an art. Once you stop writing, you can lose your rhythm and context, meaning that your writing may lose its power.
