Two weeks ago I got information regarding a Writing Competition held by one of the bookstores in Indonesia. The submission deadline is yesterday at 11.59 p.m. I wanted to join the competition, but I was too lazy and kind of pessimistic because the work should be written in English (you can tell by reading my posts that I'm not perfect in English). So I didn't start any action. Not until yesterday.
Yesterday morning I suddenly had a very strong motivation to start writing. I'll never know if I never try and my writing skill won't get any better if I didn't keep practicing, I thought to myself. So, I spent the whole day trying to write something.
I finished writing five pages story (non-fiction) at about 9 p.m., convert the file to pdf. format and send it via email. Wow, I felt great! Only five pages result, but it definitely worth the hours of hardwork. Even if I didn't win, I'm quite satisfied already. I'm proud of myself for being able to get rid of every pessimistic feeling and do something.
Big things come from small things. Small things start by doing something ;)
