(Article by a Daily Avocado Contributor)

Many people say that writing is difficult. When I was a little child, I had
been trained by my father to write. I asked him what the topics I should
write. He said that I could write anything, writing about the activities after
waking up in the morning, my activities after school, my activities for the coming
holiday, etc. In the beginning I found the difficulties but after trying
many times, finally I could do it although it was just couple lines in my
writing. I thought at that time writing was easy, It wasn't like I thought before.

My first short story titled 'Kidung Kasih buat Lintang' was written when I
was in Junior High School. As a teenager (13 y.o.) who wrote a such uncommon
thing made me very excited, especially it was published in the first edition of
my school magazine. I kept writing several poems there and they kept them
published.

I was so lucky I still could continue my writing when I was in Senior High
School because I had 3 close friends who had the same interest in writing.
We got involved in several writing competitions or sent our writings to the
school wall magazine and local daily newspaper. The very fun thing from this
activity was if everybody got their writing published and got honorarium or other
stuffs from the sponsors, we would share them each other. But after I went to the
college, my writing activity was totally stop instead doing many
paper-works especially the homeworks from my laboratory class. This situation
continued till I had a job that kept me so very busy and never thought to have desire
again in writing.

Thank God!! after I moved to USA, four years later, www.kabarindonesia.com
based on citizen journalism attended as the online Indonesia news. I was
so glad, finally my desire in writing appeared again especially after I did
blogging and knew that writing online site. I also registered as a member
in an English writing site to improve my English skill in writing. I enjoyed
every story and poems I wrote and got rewards there.

Now I am running my three own blogs, at www.fidaabbott.blogspot.com,
www.abbottsbooks.blogspot.com, and www.buanainspiration.blogspot.com,
writing at Helium, KabarIndonesia, Cross-Written and one new fresh additional online
magazine, The Daily Avocado.

Honestly, the world of writing becomes one of my interests beside
landscaping and broadcasting. If most other people write for money or hobby, but not
for me. Writing becomes a part of my life. Every thought and feeling about
something, I express them through my writings. There are a special thing that I can not
to say. I just feel free, comfortable and satisfied to express everything I
like, I think and I fell without any interruptions from the others. The various
comments I got become the special support for me to keep me writing and
writing, better and better again.

How about you??? (*)
