Many things can happen in a short time and it may change your life forever. A few hours ago l feel so helpless and brainless as my 'Cianjur Culture' writing failed to be candidate for students reading book.
I read a Wattpad novel 'My life with the Walter's Boys' written by a teenager named Ali. The novel is written in five years. It is quite long eh? But the author has interesting pay for her long and hard work. Her Wattpad version is now invited into a book, a film, and a tv series. It is a dream that comes true for all author when their works can be acceptable in every platforms and meet heterogeneous audience.
Wattpad becomes my running field when l feel sad. Many young writers who try their luck there. My eyes are still on Wattpad page when an email notification pop up. Subject "Becoming youthquake with local genius". My mind goes back to the time when l presented my research in University of Suryakencana Cianjur. I forget whether l gave my full paper or not. However, the title of my research curious me.
When l opened the email, it was from a digital publisher based in Singapore offers me to write a book based on my research range from 42 to 700 pages. I feel so overwhelmed. How can my writing goes and be detected by OmniScriptum that dedicates to scientific works written in English. It says that their books are distributed worldwide through well known shops such as Amazon, Morebooks, Hachette. Is this real?
My mind cannot digest this fact. Slowly, l can feel inconfident crawl in me. My ability in Enlish is just so so. My ability in writing is also average. I do not dare to say yes l agree to be OmniScriptum author for my writing ability is low.
In second and hour, many that happen. I sometimes do not understand what time actually offers me. The rapid changing from one second to another causes me to juat stand still and do not know what to do.
