Yearly Update: So I've Come This Far

Since 2018, I've done some projects online, including self-publishing a book, making Bookshelf, and establishing my presence as a writer. Here's some recaps about how I'm doing so far.

Orphic Tales and Other Novellas

As some of you might already know, I self-publish collection of short stories. The first one is science fiction short stories titled "Orphic Tales". In 2018, I self-published it with Jejak Publisher for the paperback and Draft 2 Digital for the eBook. So far, my family and friends received the book.

• 1 eBook sold
  
• 2 books sold to friends
  
• 5 books sold to Post Bookshop (at Pasar Santa)
  

Bookshelf

In 2018, I also started an activity called Bookshelf that focuses on enhancing reading experience. Initially, it started as a book recommendation on Instagram and on website. Then in 2019, I made a few more initiatives.

• Bookshelf Kit. Quarterly book subscription that donates to the community. Sponsoring subscriptions to 6 persons for free trials.
  
• Bookshelf Club. Quarterly book club. First meeting on March 9th with 6 attendees.
  
• Bookshelf Ignite. Donation for disabled friends at Yayasan Bhakti Luhur. No stats yet.
  
• Bookshelf World. Multilingual writings published to the world. One story titled "Eleven at Night" in English, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, Français, Italiano, Deutsch. 10 Views and 3 Reads so far.
  

Novels and Writing Courses

Racing towards Novel Competitions in late May and June 2019. Gulping down lessons from a variety of writing courses, including non-fiction writing, travel writing, creative writing, and novel writing.
