Topic : "MENULIS ITU MUDAH"
Speaker : Dr.Ngainun Naim
Moderator : Maesaroh.M.Pd
I got an exciting challenge in the class tonight, yep, exciting, shocking, and intriguing challenge from Bu Aam Nurhasanah. She promoted me to Moderator, what??? how did that even possible?? I just can't believe what I was reading in the group. But, a job is a job, just have to take it and make a life learning out of it, as I always do.
While preparing for a Business English class by zoom meeting, I also sent Bu Aam some pictures of mine just like she asked me, unfortunately, I have a little stock for formal photos. So, I decided o send more photos for her references to chose from, by far tomorrow.
The speaker was Dr.Ngainun Naim, as I surf his Resume from the internet my mind went blank for a little while. This gentleman with a soft voice and an incredibly fascinating experience has written 40 Solo Books, 90 Anthologies, 30 forewords, 50 Journals, and thousands of articles. Below is Dr.Ngainun's Primary blog, inside there are 434 articles for you to read.

On the Q & A session, I get the first question from Miss Omma Babys,
Unindra Sist May: P1
Mat mlm bapak Ngainun.mohon izin bertanya.Nama : Omma BabysAsal. NTTPertanyaan: mengapa ketika memulai menulis itu susah/ sulit?apakah karena kurang minat atau kurang membaca? Trm ksh bapak.Unindra Sist May: Silakan Dr. 🙏P1: Terima kasih Omma Babys. Memang memulai segala sesuatu tidak mudah. Tidak hanya menulis. Semua hal juga sulit kok. Belajar naik sepeda kan juga sulit. Kuncinya ya tekad. Tekad harus kuat, lalu iringi dengan rajin membaca. Beberapa kunci yang saya sampaikan tadi jika dipraktikkan akan memudahkan proses menulis.
From this class tonight I can wrap up that, when you want to make things easy, the most important thing to do is setting a mindset, because You are who think you are. If you think that writing is easy then it will be easy for you. The same when you think that it is hard then it will be hard for you.
