365 Days Left...
And with the day beginning proper with the precipitations of birthday greetings spoken in Bahasa Indo as well as our beloved English for the officially-one-year-older scholar (not me, I assure you), the countdown officially begins.
The least of my priorities, but utilising the greatest of my skills.
Not beneficial to the academic results in any conceivable way, but beneficial to the imagnitation and knowledge of people, and in turn, the noble subject (which I refuse to classify as academic) Literature in English.
An act that will never be made officially public, but anticipated (I pray and hope) by the modicum of people who DO know about it, most of all I myself.
In 365 days, I will be looking forward to the culmination of my efforts. The fruits of my labours. The final solution of the equation. And only when the three copies of my novel are 'published', in 365 days, will I find out if the aching right thumb and index finger, the cramped left hand, the overutilisation of my laptop, the overworking of my brain, the stretching of my imagination, the overexposure of my optic sensors to computerised light and the wastage of the country's electricity was all worth it. Who can tell? At this stage, not I, or anybody else for that matter. Still, writing is something I enjoy doing, my unique medium for catharsis. And so no matter the outcome, even if only three people enjoy the fruits of my labour, it will be more than enough.
May 14th 2009. 365 days left. The race is on.
