Menulis Review untuk Paket Liburan Luar Negeri Tour & Travel

Halo teman-teman projects,

Saya sedang mencari beberapa rekan kerja untuk menulis review/testimonial mengenai kepuasan liburan dengan menggunakan paket wisata tour yang nanti akan disediakan.

Kriteria Penulis & Tulisan :

2. Review Minimal 60 kata / 400 karakter. 
3. Setiap Review hanya boleh terdiri dari 2 - 3 aspek ( lihat aspek untuk review)
4. Punya pengalaman sebagai Traveler / Backpacker (lebih diutamakan). Agar tulisan lebih terasa meyakinkan.
5. Tidak perlu kerja extra seperti upload atau foto, hanya perlu menulis.
6. Tidak ada deadline, anda boleh menulis ketika mendapat inspirasi.
7. Bersedia memberikan 2x revisi jika kurang menarik / tidak sesuai.

Karena hanya terdiri dari minimal 60-90 kata , setiap review haruslah padat jelas dan menarik.

The Writer as God

By Ocendoy

Sick of being controlled by other people’s plans? Frustrated by rules nobody asked you about? How would you like to play God and create a world according to you? Well, you can – write a pilot! Because that’s what a pilot for an original series is: A whole new world. And you get to create it – in your own image.

God being God, it took Him/Her a week (depends how you choose to interpret your Bible, of course) to create the world, but you being you – with many more needs than God, like getting another cup of coffee, buying your brother a wedding gift, indulging in the miracle of on demand TV, and most irritating of all, showing up at work – it will probably take longer. On the other hand, unlike the scientists, who tell us it took a couple of billion years to create the world, you’re a creative artist and don’t have to prove your facts, so it won’t take you nearly that long.

Let’s go back to the Bible for a minute. You know that line – “In the beginning was the Word and the word was…” In your case, the word was – WRITTEN DOWN. So if you want to create a whole new world, aka a pilot, you begin by writing something down. But what? Where do you start?
Anywhere! Start with whatever you know, no matter how little or unformed it is. Write down one simple thing you know about your pilot idea. Anything, but it must be in simple words on paper (okay, the computer screen). What if you know way too much about your idea and are overwhelmed and confused about how to focus? Do the same thing. Choose one simple thing you know and write it down. 

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

For example, do you have a character? Excellent! Write down the character’s first and last name.
Don’t have the name yet? Make one up right now and write it down. Don’t worry about making it the “right” name – you can change it later as many times as you want (thank you, Find and Replace tool). Write down a placeholder name; any name except your own – especially if the character is based on you. A pilot is fiction, even if it’s highly autobiographical. It’s a fictionalized version of your life, not your memoir. You need some distance, so use your initials if you are having separation anxiety, but change the name. 

Okay, you’ve got a name written down. Write one thing—one specific thing—you know about this character. Oh, but wait a minute – not something from the backstory. Make it something you know about who your character is right now. Present tense – that’s key! He’s 15. She’s an office temp. He’s divorced. Something you know about this character that’s simple, concrete and NOW. Only one thing. You can add more later, but for now, only one. For those of you who are struggling with too much information, identifying your character only in present tense is likely to eliminate a lot of stuff that is keeping you from seeing your character clearly. It doesn’t mean the backstory stuff isn’t true or valuable, it means it isn’t relevant right now. 

But what if you don’t have a character yet? No problem—start with what you’ve got. How about the arena? Do you have an idea of where this pilot takes place? High school? Another planet? Single-parent family? Great! Write it down. And now write one specific thing you know about this arena. Elite boarding school? Suburban? Inner city? Math & Science for the Specially Gifted? Is the planet 25 years in the future? Or 2,000? Is it colder than Earth? Hotter? Is the single parent an older dad? A young mom? Is the kid a baby? A teen? Twins?

Look at that – you’ve taken two steps on your journey! What’s next?

IF YOU STARTED WITH A CHARACTER 

Next Step: Identify the arena that this character lives or works in and write down one thing you know about that arena.

For example: George Moore is 30; he lives on his family’s Texas ranch. They raise beef the old fashioned way, free range. Or, Cathy Vega is 25 and a rookie cop in a big city Police Department; the head of her department is an alcoholic. 

If you think you may have a buddy show where two characters are equally important, then pick one and go with that one first, then do the other.

IF YOU STARTED WITH AN ARENA (or anything else) 

Next Step: Identify a character who lives or works in this arena. Probably the one you want to be the Central Character, and write down one thing you know about him/her. A character is the beating heart of any story, so even though you don’t have to start with one, you need to get one as soon as you can.

"You might do a magnificent job of creating an unfamiliar world -- a far place, a far-off time, or both – with the most skilled film-makers and the best technology available. But you have to make sure that world is inhabited by people whose lives and fates we care about and whose story has something to say to us."
– Ridley Scott

Now you’ve got a place and a character. You may think that’s not much, but you’ve started a solid foundation. You can build on that.

Next Step: What do you think a potential problem for that character might be?
Consider the one thing you wrote down and if you have an idea how that one thing can be a problem for your Central Character put it down. 

For example: That family ranch that I said George Moore lives on—it’s split between him and a sister and she handles the finances. George needs approval from her for his operations. Or, in that Police Department where I put Cathy Vega – to keep her case on track, Cathy covers for her alcoholic boss who then gets credit for solving the case. 

If you don’t have any idea what kind of a problem your character has with the information you wrote down, make one up. Yes, right now. You are a writer; that’s what you do – you make stuff up and WRITE IT DOWN.

It doesn’t have to be good, by the way, it just has to be written down. Making it good, better, best – that’s important, but that comes later. First you’ve got to write stuff down without worrying about whether it’s right. 

A painter has paint. A musician has an instrument. A writer has words. Words are your tools, your medium. Words are all you’ve got. Words are your oil paints, your guitar, but if they’re in your head, no matter how good they are, they don’t count – you’ve got to write them down. You can make anything you’ve written down better. You can’t do a thing with something that’s still in your head. Your job is to make choices and write them down. That’s what makes you a writer – it’s that simple. That’s the whole secret – there are lots of other guidelines and suggestions you can learn, but nothing really matters unless you’re writing it down.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
- Lao-tzu, founder of Taoism

Congratulations, you have started. And, if you followed my advice, what you’ve got is not about the backstory; it’s present tense, functioning in your character’s world right now, which is what you must have to develop a pilot.

So go ahead and play God – create your own world. As the saying goes, God is in the details, and you get to choose them. You set the parameters. The rules. The values. You decide who stays, who goes, when they fall in love, what they fight about. Everything. It’s your world. If somebody wants to change it – they have to pay you. Wow! Imagine that.

Don’t you love having control? Now if you could get control of your own life… hey, you know, creating a pilot is a big step in that direction. So write one. Write now.

So You Want to Be a Writer?

I got a letter recently from someone who hopes to be a writer. She says:

I get so frustrated with myself because even as I am typing, I think, "What am I doing?  I can't write!" I would like to get published some day, but I don't even know how to start.

No 7-step list will guarantee a writer is formed out of a non-writer, but here are some suggestions, things that have been helpful for me.

1. Write!

The cliche answer is probably the best one—if you want to write, write. Don't think about publishing at first. And quit examining yourself and your ability. Don't worry about grammar and spelling at first. Just write. Anything. Journal. Letters. Blog. Keep a writing notebook or computer file. In it, write random paragraphs describing something you've seen or imagined. Jot down ideas or connections that have come to your mind when you're reading your Bible.

All of this is good practice and good source material for you. Sometimes I happen across a random piece of paper where in the past I briefly wrote a thought that I'd now completely forgotten. Without the paper it would have been totally lost. Now it slips into something I'm writing as if it were totally fresh today.

2. Immerse yourself in what you admire.

When you find an author you love to read, read everything you can find by that person. Think of authors whose writing grabs you, then soak yourself in their work. For me, there have been all sorts. It would be hard to pick out just a few, but here's a very random sample: George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte, Edith Schaeffer, Elisabeth Eliot, P.D. James, Alexander McCall Smith.

A practical and surprisingly helpful way to get a feel for the quality of another author’s writing is to copy down well-turned phrases of theirs that you find as you read. Then, not only are you passively taking in good writing as a reader, you are also practicing putting it out yourself as a writer.

3. Practice improving other people’s writing.

I think editing other people's work has helped my writing a lot. As an exercise, you might take random paragraphs from other writers or yourself and see how much you can cut out and still leave a good paragraph. Shortest is not always best, but long is often weak. See what other ways you might improve the paragraph.

4. Join a writers’ group.

In college, I should have majored in Lit because I love reading. But Lit required a lot of writing. So I majored in Speech, so I could just talk, because I didn't like to write.

When I was in my late 30's, someone at Bethel College asked me to write a very short piece for the alumni magazine about an Alumna of the Year (or something like that), a person in our church. And I was probably 40 before I started thinking I might enjoy writing and began to do it because I liked it.

About that time I joined the Minnesota Christian Writers Guild. At the monthly meetings, even if the speaker is talking about a kind of writing I'm not interested in, somehow it's still good fertilizer and watering to whatever I am interested in.

Look for a writers' organization near you. Whether or not it should be a Christian group depends on what kind of writing you’re doing. As you look for a group, keep in mind there’s some pretty goofy stuff out there (both Christian and non-Christian), stuff that won't advance your thought or writing or your faith very well.

5. Start a writers’ group.

Later I started getting together monthly with a small group of other aspiring writers. Each of us brings something and we take turns reading to each other. Then we encourage each other and make suggestions. That has been really helpful. And you should recognize that comes from me, who doesn't take criticism easily nor want anybody telling me what to do.

Round up your own group of writers or would-be writers. Needing to have something fresh each month is good motivation to keep writing.

6. Participate in events for writers.

Find conferences you want to attend. American Christian Writers, for example or Christian Writers Guild. These are big conferences and will have tracks for beginners. Look around those websites for other helpful info, too. Another good annual conference is Write to Publish, always in Wheaton, though not associated officially with the college.

Same thought here as above about deciding whether to go to Christian conferences or others.

7. Ask yourself what you want to say and who you want to say it to.

Before moving eventually toward publishing, probably most important is getting past the general idea of writing, and getting down to asking yourself, “What do I have to say? What do I want to say? What are my great burdens that won’t let me be content until I deal with them on paper? Who do I want to write this for?”

Over time this sense will grow, perhaps from your random writing notebook. You’ll start to notice what gets most of your word count, or what raises the strongest emotions in you, or what you've been learning as you've written. Writing is one of the best ways (besides talking to yourself!) to know what you really think . You realize how unfinished your thoughts have been when you try to get them out of your head and into something cogent on paper.

Keep learning!

Really, what we're talking about here is continuing education. I was surprised to discover that my education wasn't finished when I finished college. I realize now that I learned to learn in school. And I've gotten my real education since then.

So, if you want to grow in writing, that means you want to continue your education in writing, and that means WRITE!

20 Tahun Cari Inspirasi Menulis Buat Togu Sarah

JANUARY 25, 2017Z

“Selembar kertas kosong adalah cara Tuhan untuk mengatakan kepada kita [penulis] tentang betapa sulitnya menjadi Tuhan.” ~Sidney Sheldon~

Salah satu hal yang paling menyebalkan bagi kita para penulis adalah duduk di depan blank pagelaptop tanpa ide sama sekali. Seberapa sering Anda menghadapinya? Kalau saya tidak terhitung. Lalu bagaimana saya mengatasinya hingga saya mampu menyelesaikan novel saya satu per satu? Satu kata INSPIRASI. Yang kita butuhkan adalah terinspirasi. Tapi bagaimana caranya? Karena kita tidak mungkin menunggu inspirasi itu datang lama-lama bukan? Nah coba cek 20 cara di bawah ini yang dapat Anda lakukan untuk mendapat inspirasi dalam menulis.

1. Membaca.

Ada begitu banyak manfaat dalam membaca buku terutama bagi para penulis. Membaca dapat mengaktifkan otak kita, Writers, sehingga otak tidak akan kehilangan kekuatannya. Sebuah novel yang bagus ternyata juga dapat mengurangi stress, belum lagi dengan membaca Anda juga bisa menambah kosa kata baru. Jadi kalau kehilangan inspirasi, ambillah sebuah buku yang bagus dan bacalah.

2. Mendengarkan Musik.

Musik adalah salah satu pengaruh positif yang telah terbukti. Entah itu lagu kesukaan kita, Band favorit, musik klasik, bisa apa saja. Karena satu lagu dapat menarik mood Anda, membuat Anda relaks, sehingga Anda dapat berkonsentrasi untuk menulis. Pengalaman saya pribadi, untuk setiap novel saya mempunyai lagu tema masing-masing. Lagu tema saya dalam menulis City of Heroes adalah Man on a Wire, The Script dan Dave Koz, Together Again. Ketika menulis Tofi Perburuan Bintang Sirius lagu tema saya adalah Rule The World, Take That. Lagu dan musik tersebut mengantarkan saya untuk menyelesaikan novel demi novel. Tidak pernah saya menulis novel tanpa satu lagu tema yang menemani.

3. Menyanyi di Kamar Mandi?

Oh ayolah, semua orang pernah menyanyi saat mandi kan? Atau kalau tidak PD dengan suara sendiri menggumam-gumam lirik lagu? Pasti pernah kan? Terlepas dari bagus atau tidaknya suara kita, menyanyi adalah salah satu cara untuk terapi lho. Secara emosional menyanyi dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan diri kita, mengurangi stress, membangun kreativitas, dan masih banyak lagi. Jadi menyanyilah!.

4. Menulis dengan Tangan.

Dengan teknologi yang berkembang sangat pesat belakangan ini, kita sudah jarang menggunakan pulpen dan kertas saat menulis. Cobalah tutup laptop Anda dan ambillah jurnal, kertas dan pulpen, tulislah apa yang ada di pikiran Anda tanpa terlalu over thinking. Ketika selesai bacalah apa yang telah Anda tulis, siapa tahu ada ide yang berguna di sana. Atau inspirasi tiba-tiba datang, siapa tahu kan?

5. Mendengarkan Orang Lain.

Pekerjaan menulis memang membutuhkan kesendirian, bahkan seringkali kita lebih senang mengisolasi diri daripada bersosialisasi. Saya adalah orang yang mendapatkan energi ketika saya sendirian. Meski begitu saya tahu kapan saya harus bertemu dengan teman-teman dan mendengarkan mereka, atau sekedar bercerita tentang keadaan saya. Itu sangat menolong. Para penulis adalah seseorang yang tidak pernah menganggap kisah orang lain sambil lalu, kita adalah pendengar, dan dalam kisah orang lain kita selalu bisa mendapatkan ide ketika orang lain tidak.

6. Tertawa.

Bertemanlah dengan orang-orang yang dapat membuat Anda tertawa. Atau tonton saja komedi favoritmu. Karena humor dan tawa dapat menstimulus kedua sisi otak kita untuk meningkatkan pembelajaran, dengan mengaktifkan sistem limbik di otak. Sistem limbik berhubungan dengan emosi, gairah dan kenangan. Humor juga dapat melepaskan tekanan, yang merupakan komponen utama dari kerativitas.

7. Ubah Pemandangan.

Apakah Anda bekerja di kantor? Di kamar pribadi? Cobalah untuk pindah tempat sejenak. Pergi ke kamar lain, ke halaman, atau salah satu area di rumah yang dapat memberi suasana lain. Kalau Anda seharian duduk, cobalah berdiri, berjalan-jalan sekitar rumah, ke dapur membuat teh atau kopi, bergeraklah, tidak perlu banyak, tapi bergerak memungkinkan Anda untuk menyegarkan otak, ketika itu terjadi maka kreativitas akan mengalir.

8. Bawalah Kamera dan Pergilah Keluar.

Ide berjalan-jalan di luar kompleks, ke taman adalah ide yang bagus. Tapi bawalah kamera Anda, tidak punya kamera profesional tidak masalah, masih ada kamera handphone. Duduklah, perhatikan sekeliling, potretlah sesuatu yang menarik, tapi jangan lupa untuk membawa jurnal, karena ketika ide datang, percayalah, Writers, Anda tidak ingin itu lenyap begitu saja.

9. Pergi Keluar, Tarik Napas dalam-dalam, dan Dengar.

Apa yang didengar? Simfoni alam. Duh kedengarannya lame atau terlalu berlebihan. Tapi nggak juga kok. Duduklah di taman atau di tempat yang Anda sukai. Nikmati simfoni di sekeliling Anda. Apakah itu kicauan burung, daun gemeresak ditiup angin, orang-orang tertawa, gemericik air, atau bunyi hujan. Saya memiliki seorang teman yang menyukai bau tanah yang basah disiram hujan, dia menyukai berdiri menyaksikan hujan, dan selalu merasa terinspirasi akan itu. Tidak ada yang bisa menandingi suara alam, begitu indah dan menginspirasi. Tidak percaya? Coba saja.

10. Menggambar atau Melukis Pemandangan di Luar.

Bagi Anda yang hobi menggambar atau bahkan melukis, aktivitas ini jangan sampai dilewatkan apalagi ketika Anda merasa kehabisan inspirasi dalam menulis. Karena menggambar dan melukis dapat merangsang kedua belahan otak kiri dan otak kanan, sehingga dapat memaksimalkan logika dan rasionalitas, juga dapat meningkatkan kreativitas. Lukisan dapat meningkatkan imajinasi dan kekuatan memori. Jadi jangan remehkan keahlian menggambar atau melukis Anda, Writers.

11. Lihat Sesuatu yang Hijau dan Biru.

Para peneliti mengklaim bahwa dua warna ini dapat mempengaruhi kreativitas kita. Jadi kalau memang memungkinkan melihat langit, atau laut, juga pepohonan kenapa tidak dilakukan?.

12. Buka Kembali Karya-Karya di Masa Lalu.

Bisa sebuah tulisan di blog, cerpen atau puisi yang pernah dimuat di majalah, sebuah lukisan atau sebuah proyek yang pernah Anda buat di masa lalu. Kita dapat merasakan kembali kenangan juga rasa bangga terhadap diri kita sendiri. Sejauh apa yang telah kita capai dan hal itu tentu bisa membuat kita bahagia. Tentu saja itu juga mungkin memicu inspirasi baru.

13. Bermain Game.

Permainan yang saya maksud dalam hal ini adalah permainan yang berkaitan dengan kalimat atau kata-kata. Scrabble bisa jadi salah satunya, atau Anda dapat memilih satu kata dan tulislah apa saja yang muncul dalam pikiran Anda saat kata itu disebut. Bisa juga Anda mengambil satu kalimat dari buku atau novel lalu jadikan kalimat itu petunjuk untuk menulis sesuatu, karena aktivitas ini sangat bisa memacu imajinasi, Writers.

14. Pikirkan Sesuatu yang Berbeda.

Berpikir tentang hal yang sama atau masalah yang sama setiap kali tentu akan membuat kita berhadapan dengan jalan buntu yang sama. Bagaimana kalau mencoba berpikir sesuatu yang tidak berhubungan dengan tulisan Anda? Misalnya, coba bayangkan apa yang akan Writers lakukan atau capai 10 tahun lagi?.

15. Berolah raga.

Aktivitas fisik sangat baik untuk tubuh dan jiwa, Writers. Selain untuk menguatkan tubuh, olah raga juga dapat memicu kimia di otak kita sehingga kita menjadi lebih bahagia dan relaks. Olah raga bisa mengurangi stress dan depresi, jadi jika kehabisan inspirasi, tidak ada salahnya Anda pergi berenang, lari atau melakukan olah raga favorit Anda yang lain.

16. Mencoba Sesuatu yang Baru.

Kreativitas Anda akan tertantang jika Anda mencoba sesuatu yang baru. Itu dapat memicu inspirasi Anda. Misalnya mencoba resep dessert baru dari majalah yang menggugah selera? Hmm….sweet!.

17. Tidur.

Tutup laptop Anda, jangan terlalu dipaksakan terus di depan laptop jika itu buntu. Cobalah untuk tidur. Tidur dapat berguna untuk menyegarkan tubuh dan pikiran kita.

18. Membuat Kreasi Buatan Tangan.

Di sekolah, Anda pasti pernah diajarkan membuat kreativitas dengan tangan. Seperti menjahit, menyulam, merajut, merangkai bunga atau membuat prakarya dari barang-barang yang sudah terpakai. Berkreasi dengan tangan Anda dapat membantu menyegarkan proses berpikir Anda. Sehingga dapat mengundang masuk sebuah inspirasi baru.

19. Traveling terutama Ke Negara Lain.

Ernest Hemingway adalah salah satu penulis yang seumur hidupnya senang bepergian dan berpetualang ke negara-negara lain. Travel membuat pikiran kita lebih terbuka, Writers. Berada di tempat baru dapat memaksa kreativitas Anda bekerja. Tidak hanya Anda mampu melihat sesuatu yang baru di sana setiap harinya, tapi Anda juga dapat melihat hal yang baru tersebut dengan pencerahan baru yang tidak dapat Anda ketahui di negara Anda.

20. Temukan Apa yang bisa Memicu Kreativitas Anda.

Setiap penulis pasti memiliki hal ini. Jika Anda belum memilikinya, coba temukanlah. Seperti Victor Hugo tidak bisa bekerja tanpa mencium bau kopi, Haruki Murakami akan berlari 10 kilometer dan berenang sebanyak 1500 meter ketika mengerjakan sebuah proyek novel, atau saya misalnya, saya tidak akan mulai menulis tanpa mendengar sebuah lagu. Semua orang dapat mengidentifikasi kebiasaan yang dapat membangunkan kreativitasnya.

Semoga 20 cara di atas bisa membantu Anda untuk mendapat inspirasi dalam menulis. Jangan pernah langsung menyerah jika Writers menghadapi jalan buntu atau dua kata ini: writer’s block. Tahun ini saya memasuki tahun ke 11 dalam menulis, jadi saya berani bilang apa pun yang membuat ide tidak keluar, semua itu pasti bisa diatasi.
