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.
  • Finished First Draft of "The Bridge Cards" (idea originated in 2010). Working on Second Draft with a target of 1,100 words per day / 7,500 words per week until May 25th, 2019.
  • Starting on "Lambent Vision" (idea originated in 2012) for both Curtis Brown Creative and Faber Academy courses. Need 2,000 words opening by April 2nd, 2019. Need 15,000 words by October 16th, 2019.

Other Projects

Creating a bullet journal. Stuck in March as things piled up quickly. But liking the results from January and February entries.
