CLASSIQUE

Progress report: 3rd chapter is done! 

It’s quite a long quest to write this chapter. The POV is turning to a man. So, I had to delve into man’s character. I hope it’s good enough. 

I know why it took so much time to write a chapter. I didn’t do research before writing. I write, I’m stuck, and I search. Well, this is the journey! You go, you might stray in the middle of nowhere, then you find a new path. 

Now, am I ready to continue this journey?

Yes, I am!

tak ada yang lebih tabah
dari hujan bulan juni
dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
kepada pohon berbunga itu

tak ada yang lebih bijak
dari hujan bulan juni
dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya
yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

tak ada yang lebih arif
dari hujan bulan juni
dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan
diserap akar pohon bunga itu

I used to pick “Bookantiqua” which made the page longer. I recently changed the font to the normal Publisher asking “Times New Roman”, so this first draft I had written is actually 13 and half pages. First five pages is 1st chapter and the rest is 2nd chapter. 

Ok, I’m gonna keep this font—the classical TNR. -_-

OMG! I was mistaken in counting. There’s 16 chapters, not 15 as I said before. Hahaha… I wrote the outline in Roman’s number. And I wrote double twelve—‘XII’.  

No, I don’t need new outline. Just fix the number. Hehehe…

Aw, aw, aw.. I’ve just accomplished the 2nd chapter. I wrote 4 pages recently. So, it became 10 pages of 2nd chapter. Is it enough or too long? Dunno. But whole story can fulfill the expectation of the outline I had designed. So, it’s kinda good actually.

Woohoo.. I’m ready to the next chapter. The 3rd! 

Before I close this page, I’d like to remind myself that if I stuck in the story, just go googling with any keyword I want to be existed in the story. It quite helps. Stuck means you need more reading. It doesn’t mean you copy the article, but it ignites your own words. 

Hoam..hoam..begadang! Begadang! For another 3 pages. And now I feel that it’s a maximum page I could write daily.

T_T

It’s gonna be a long journey of my draft; and remember it’s the first draft, it must not be good enough. Always need edited and revised.
