You guys want to be writers, but are lazy to read. You want to be a writer, but it's bad for the language. You guys want to be writers, but lazy to read, bad language and a lot of excuses anyway. Such is the fate of a writer who only dreams but does not achieve his wish. So, to become a writer, what are the basic things you need to have? Especially to be a creative writer, what is it worth doing?
First, language. Yes, the main thing that is naturally mastered by writers is language. Master Malay, the language of our nationality. Master it with all your body soul. Because to write a short story, language reflects the personality of the author. The reader will recognize the short stories he is interested in by the grammatical compositions photographed by the author. For example, the short story written by Mawar Safei describes her identity. Pay attention to "A Collection of New Zealand Narrative Short Stories and Other Stories" (DBP, 2021) by Mawar Safei who often uses the word "narration" in some of her short stories . Among the titles of his short stories are "Narasi Tongariro dari Penjuru Disember Lalu", and "Narasi Cinta Saat Gempa". In addition, several vocabulary choices filtered to smooth his story are contained in his short stories, such as "Infitar di Taman Salju", "Between Two The House on the Hillside", "The Woman Of The Harp Picker", "Her Voice and Love", "A Letter from Umar", "The Moon on Gifford Avenue", "Meet Again The Woman Of The Harp Picker", " Labuhan Sukma di Kapiti", "The Language of Mel's Longing", The One Star in the Early Sky", "He Who Galloped in the Dust of War", "The Patchwork Island Earthquake", "On the Day I Met Miqdad", " The Mandate of a Loving Woman", "When Thundering in the Brown House", "Rinai di Perkebunan", "Blue Butterfly in Qolbu" and "Umi's Hand and Takwil Dream".
Mawar Safei's mastery of the Malay language with a certain selection of vocabulary, which corresponds to the background of the eroding proposed to the reader, shows the author's earnestness in loving language. In fact, it clearly shows that the author has his own spirit of authorship in forming the region of the language environment that is staked in the soul. Thus, the diversity of vocabulary and language webbing that is as good as it is to make "language rise strongly" for readers to take advantage of. In fact, this once Gus flicked the response of taste in the conscience of the audience to reflect with the eyes of the heart, not just with the outward eye in understanding every broken word that authorized in his works.
Second, the literature. The extent to which an author who masters the language in which he is personally dressed translates in the form of artful and aesthetically laden creative works. How a person who is an author is familiar with the webbing of literature such as themes, problems, dispositions and representations, plots, conflicts, and teaching elements are united in a fascinating layout of inspiration. For example , the novel produced by Husna Nazri@Nazri Hussein who often won the Sastera Prize of the Messenger's Gathering (HSKU) one year ago. Pay attention to the title of the novel, namely "The Weaver of Love" (2019), which reveals about the cultural heritage of the nation, namely songket cloth to be submitted to the audience readers especially teenagers. In fact, his other series of novels helped awaken the personality of young people, including "Heir to the Ocean" (2013), "The Hues of Surrender" (2013), "The Singing of the Season Riot" (2015), "Tropical Green Kudup" (2015), "Miss Syonan-t o" (2016), and "S. P.I.D.E.R" (2017) shows the woven sastera held together with commensurate inspiration in the novel has its own aesthetic touch for the reader's dish. The work of the erosion in each of his novels can dampen the enthusiasm of the audience to illuminate the pancaroba. Thechoice of the title "love" for example is translated not to stripling even to songket weaving, one of the cultural heritage of the nation. The author seeks to put forward pure values that can be used as an imktibar in the struggle of life, and the concubine of the guess. Thus, this is where the role of literature can develop a nation's love for the cultural arts of the nation, heritage and civilization that deserves to be defended every time.
The author is an educator with "ustaz" status, he must have a high awareness in presenting messages that are beneficial to the reader. In fact, the average of his work is aimed at young people who are struggling with various chains of life's problems, and trying to empowerthe soul. The propagation of the main character as the lead of a consistent young man with noble values is made the main peg in his novels. Dishes of universal diversity of issues are able to open the horizons of the reader's thoughts thus developing a noble personality. Thus, the results of such literary works highlight the meaning of " strong literature" to serve as a guide and guide for readers.
"Language Rises Strongly, Sastera Upholds Potent" this once gus showed the power of the authors to enliven the union between "language" and "sastera" in a neat manner to the gaze of the reader's audience. This is in harmony with Ibrahim's surah verses 24-25 as translated: "Have you not noticed how Allah has made a parable of a good sentence like a good tree, its roots are strong and its branches (soaring) into the sky, (the tree) bears its fruit at all times with the permission of its Lord. And God made the parable for men so that they would always remember", clearly confirming "language" and "literature" as the proper place for an author to produce a work once gus membugar civilization of the nation and the state.
In fact, the Prime Minister of Malaysia's recommendation on the ability of Bahasa Melayu as a language of knowledge is one of the top 20 languages in the world. The Malay language is said to occupy the tenth step of its use and should be matched with all the available quartets. Quoting his expression: "As Keluarga Malaysia and the owner of this native language, we should be proud that in the gaps of the English language, the Malay language remains powerful in patterning its own rhythm and always blooms in the world civilization", it should be studded in the kabad of the nation's children, especially the younger generation.
Ayuh penulis, chisel in yourself that the great mandate that is placed on the shoulders in presenting the best work for thereading. Choose, and filter out the "clear" language to put forward in the work to form the richness of the soul. Choose, and filter out the "beautiful" literature to unfold in the work for the confirmation of noble personalities. "The Language of Towering Solidity, Sastera Upholding Potent" desires authors who have extraordinary ability by glittering efforts for the sake of the nation's treasures. The words of Tenas Effendy in the book "Work Ethos" are naturally used as a reflection: "When work is to be perfect, praiseworthy qualities should be taken care of", "If it is commendable in work, the afterlife gets rewarded", "When working holds the mandate, oneself is safely nurtured by Allah", "When working carefully, benefits can be praiseworthy", and "When working with his knowledge, work becomes a great benefit."
