Additional Essay. Yeay! hope you keep enjoy till this step :)

Hy, you have to know this one. Don't worry about being creative in writing I'm not saying don't be creative when you write that first initial draft, I'm saying let the writing take care of itself. Don't invite editors in until you have something to edit.

While you are writing, write. As simple as that. Maybe a creative touch will find its way onto the page, or maybe it won't. But when you're writing, the best way to increase creativity is to not let your mind dwell on it too much while you're writing. You don't want it to get in the way, you want to add, sometimes bring dry patches, to trigger stanzas, or add a new layer to a tedious process.

Only you have walked the path you have so far. Only you have experienced things in your world (personally and on a larger scale), the question remains: What do you want to say about these things What's more, there are few things more exciting than an unexpected line popping out of your finger and finding its way across the page. Let it happen, edit it later, but don't sit around demanding it happen. You will despise the magic.

Adding creativity in the editing process More often than not, it's in the editing process that I'll find opportunities to add a touch or two of creativity. And not always by adding a new line, or adding a new description, but rather by working on what is already there. Just tidy it up a bit, rotate it, or maybe fiddle with the place. I can't say this often enough and in enough scribbles on the writing to convey its importance, but editing is where great writing really thrives.

Let me say it again, editing is where great writing thrives. This is where your deepest level of raw potential can really develop. You write hastily, reaching deep within and bringing out things that not only your audience wants but also crave, but that doesn't mean you're done. You have to clean it up, make it tidy, make it work better, and that's where editing comes into play. This is doubly true in terms of adding to the magic of creativity.

Your task at this point should not be to reinvent the wheel but to smooth out any rough parts and make sure they run properly. You want things to be approachable, accessible, and easy for your readers. Not at the expense of the work's power, or at the expense of its creativity, but you also don't want any of those things to get in the way of their reading.

Editing is where you slow down and look at what you've written and find places where creativity can really shine. That is your role at this level of the writing process. Finding opportunities, making things shine, making things more accessible. We've talked a lot about adding creativity, but now, let me flip the script and give a small but important caveat to all of this: a little is enough.

In the previous section, we discussed all the ways we can add creativity, and I also suggested (sometimes more subtly than other times) that it all comes down to balance, to achieve harmony between the actions and additions and elements of your writing. Here's a plainly stated reality, creativity works best when it surprises your audience. While the reader is reading, the text takes them with an easy flow, and then suddenly they come across a description that sings. 

It didn't surprise them in an extraordinary way but in unexpectedly welcoming ease. This means building creativity in an engaging way but not holding it in for so long that your audience feels suffocated. Remember this, it's all about balance, and a little can go a long way.

Add value, balancing, and striking strong harmony between the elements of your poem is directly related to added value. So far I've written about it a lot, but again not too much: you write for the reader. You must never forget this, never break this trust, and never walk away from this responsibility. Your role as a poet is not only to be poetic, but also to be read, and to add value to the lives of your audience.

I write verbally, down to earth, raw and imperfect because that's who I am, what I am about, and what my poetry wants to be about. I want my work to be accessible, honest, raw, rugged, and a safe place to put the little pieces of my soul that are

Hello buddies! how miss I am to write this conditional type for you even though it's only for fulfill my assignment as a college student ahahahaha. It's only joking, right?.

Ok, I'll tell you first.That afternoon a virtual classroom began. It was attended by dozens of participants from TBI 1 and TBI 2 classes, guided by a lecturer who was very skilled in his field. He gave directions on what creative writing is, especially in the section on poetry. To open it, the moderator asked the resource person, what is meant by creative writing?

Creative writing actually doesn't have a specific definition, that's what Mam Rahma said. However, one thing is for sure, all writing requires creativity, whatever it is in the form of writing. In short, creative writing techniques are practiced to make the reader not bored with the writing presented. Because creative writing is made using several techniques that make writing possible. Starting from the plot, emotional development, to the background story that makes writing come alive.

When writing a creative essay, the elements used to build it are not much different from when writing other writings, such as scientific articles or journalism reports. We often hear these elements from Indonesian classes or writing mentors, namely 5W and 1H or what, when, where, who, why, and how.

If we elaborate further, the what element can be interpreted as a story plot built in an article. When an element can be defined by the chronology of a story. Where elements can we describe with the background of the story or the location of the incident from the topic that we raise. The who element is of course the subject or character that appears in the story. We can describe him completely and completely, from his name, character to his hobbies. The why an element is the motive of the story we write, while the how an element can be interpreted literally, namely how. How does the story or plot that we build happen?

There is one interesting sentence conveyed by Mam Rahma about writing. According to him, writing is like building a world in the reader's head, for that it takes creativity and a clear path. This development can be done through various elements that have been discussed above. In addition, the world is also built with narrative and descriptive sentences. Both will work together to explain and visualize the story to the reader.

According to Mam Rahma, we will not remember in detail what is written in the book we read, but we can describe it. For this reason, visualization of a story is important, especially in creative writing practice. Because through visualization, the message we want to write can arrive well and the world we will build can be intact. that's all for today. C U, Buddies ;)

                                                    MY DIFFICULTIES IN MAKING POEMS

            Hyyy nice to meet you again. So long time for me as writer didn’t send essay and also you for accepting the writing as reader. Dear you, how are you today? I am pretty well. How about you? masyaaAllah you are amazing one! Ok now let me tell about difficulties in making poem. Especially with English.

Actually, I love so poem. I don’t know how to tell you about that one well. I love to do that since I was child and my mother supports me to show in front of public in situation who I am as one of event’s participant. It makes me learn about managing self-confident. Yaa that is my mother’s way to support everything I loved.

The first reason that I have because my mother ever told this one, “you can do everything you want, you can show who really you are. But, think first. Is that good for you or not? If good, just run well as your planning. If not, please leave them”. It has been supporting me till this time. I have built my habit who for saying not to be shy even though in front of the public and also just show what u want to do those have positive side for you.

This time let me tell you the difficulties I have who want to write many poem for completing my assignments.

Literary works in the form of poem deserve to be admired. Not only admiring it, as a form of appreciation we can also write poem. The hope if we write the poem, we will understand its contents better, right?

 Sound aspect

A poem will be meaningful if read. So, understanding the aspects of rhyme, rhythm, pause, tone, and intonation of reading is the first step to understanding the content of it. Some poems repeat certain sounds, play vowels and consonants, emphasize certain words, and so on.

Word aspect

Poem is a pattern of word play that has meaning in it. This definition also emphasizes that in poem, what is important is not only the sound, but the choice of words in it. Even the sequence of words is one of the main aspects in a poem. First understand the meaning of word for word, then continue with line by line, then you will understand verse by verse. Usually, although a word that stands alone may have a different meaning when strung together in poetry.

Intrinsic aspect

Not only about what is written in the poem, knowledge of the intrinsic aspects of poem is very helpful in understanding the content of the poem. The intrinsic aspects of poem include the objects presented, the setting and also the world of the author.

Implicit meaning

At this stage the meaning is carried out thoroughly so that a story, story, event, or other is strung together. So you can not only see what is written, but also guess the meaning of what is not written.

In essence, poem is a mysterious literary work. But from poem, we can learn a lot about life. Congratulations on appreciating poem even though limited only for completing our assignment.

 RHYMING POEM

Reflective Essay (2)

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blogger!

This day let me do my assignment again to share . In this chance, I want to share my difficulties in creative writing class about rhyming poem. First, we have to know what truly meaning of poem ok! Poem is a literary work in the form of an expression of the heart of a writer in which it has rhythm, lyrics, rhyme, and rhythm in each line.

Packed in imaginative language and arranged with dense and meaningful words.  And also how about rhyme? Rhyme is a sound equation or repetition of sounds in poetry that aims to give a beauty effect. In this section you can also show your creativity. Use rhyme to make your poetry even more beautiful.

Making poetry is not an easy thing actually, there are many things that you must pay attention to. There are as my lecturer’s suggestion what point those we have to:

·         Theme and Title

Themes and titles are the first things you should pay attention to when writing a poem. The right theme and title can make it easier for readers to understand the meaning of the poem. Choose a theme that is really interesting, and then decide on a title that relates to that theme.

 

·         Define Keywords

Keywords can be a word that can help you to explain the meaning of the theme of your poem. You just need to develop it in a sentence or a line of poetry.

 

·         Develop Your Poetry

The next process is to develop your poem as beautifully as possible. Every process that you have gone through will be further improved with this development process. Don't be afraid, show your creativity and imagination here.

 

Did you know? When I was writing this poem. Absolutely, I have got many difficulties in writing. The difficult one is when look for the least of every sentences in. It needs thinking and mood to make the best sense in that poem. So, I try my best and I got it. Honestly, I love writing. But, it is not easy to do when we write in English as making Indonesia poem. The last one, we only have to try and also practice with what we should to try for getting best result as we can. Ok never give up! See u, buddies. I am going to miss you !!!
