A Small Peace Called Imagination...

How some ppl can have more time than others

I've been doing nothin in the last one hour. Listening to local radio from Jakarta, but how come there's no DJ?? All DJs are also enjoying weekends? While I'm still here in my room, a lot of projects are waiting for me to do but I just dun have moods to do and tempted to procrastinate. (Oh finally... there comes the DJ's voice in the radio).

A few days ago I met a girl in the friendster. I got the link to her from one of the Indonesian young writers which I already added in fs. Then I said hello to this girl. She's a young writer as well. But u know what, she already started writing a novel. And her first novel is going to be published this December. The second one is next July. She's also a co-writer of a famous scriptwriter for television. And she's one yr younger than me! See what a difference one year gap can make. I'm just an amateur short story writer, sometimes during vacation I write one short story to local magazines in Jakarta. If it's published, I'm very happy. Until now, how many have I published? I guess only two stories. The first one is when I was 13 or 14 yrs old. Then the second one is a few months ago. The other one is a poetry published in the anthology of poetry.com. The in-between 5 years, mostly I just feel no time to write. And no good idea that motivates me to write.

How come some people like that girl have enough time to write a hundred-pages novel? She finished it in 5 months. Wow, that's a great job, isn't it. I always wish I could publish a novel someday or write a script for a movie (hehehe it's my BIG dream). But I just wonder whether I can achieve it. Even now is worse. My schedule in university is very packed (with projectsss, of course). But some ppl said that when u're still young (dunno which age till which age is considered young), do as much things as possible n do what u wanna do, coz u may not be able to do it later. When u realize, it's already too late or time flies.
