So You Think You Can Write?

Mirip sama acara TV ya judul post ini? Sengaja, biar catchphrase aja sama kontennya.
Seperti hasil polling dari Instagram aku beberapa waktu lalu bahwa aku pengen konsisten nulis lagi. Yhaa setelah vakum sewindu dari dunia blogger, bisalah dicoba-coba lagi ngejar tayang menjelang akhir tahun, biar nggak garing isinya sampe ke Catatan Akhir Tahun lagi, lol.


Nah, kali ini aku mau sharing soal dunia kerja dan start up company. Sebenernya sotoy aja sih, karena yang dishare adalah pengalaman pribadi yang super.... cetek alias shallow, alias biasa aja, alias nggak umum dan nggak bisa digeneralisasi. Tapi ya blog blog gue, ya suka suka gue!


Anyway, a couple of years back, I have been involved with this digital/online magazine called Eat Vacation and Luxuvere. Basically, these 2 are in the same group, Luxuvere, but containing different types of contents. I used to be the Editor/Writer back then at Eat Vacation, and now moving (up?) to the HR for both brands. It's quite interesting because although I am only a part time here and there, I feel like I'm so attached with the whole company. Not only I know the owner, but actually the industry is quite interesting; it's media 4.0.

A digital media platform that has SO MANY CHALLENGES, yet at the same time, so many opportunities. Let alone the time-based and reader-based content, I think the topics covered are very niche and great to study about. I personally think I'd fit the Managing Editor position if only I could leave my whole family life. Not because I am so good at it, but I think it's something worth exploring. However, despite the indefinite shape it can be formed within these past 2 years, I absolutely believe that a media background would be the most required qualification for anyone sitting in this position. Firstly because the editorial direction is still an infant, it needs serious and intensive care from someone whose experience has covered media and digital world. Yeah digital I mean hardworking, timeless and workaholic individuals can fit in. It's not that people without this background cannot work, no, totally not. English is also the main requirement, because the media aim for expat and native readers. Secondly, I really think there are a lot more potentials that haven't been reached, both by the owner, and the team member. Simply not because they are not capable, nor not passionate in growing the company, but more because of the undefined workload and team-pace yet.

Yang mau aku sharing adalah the latest concern tentang bagaimana menulis itu jadi suatu hal yang sulit namun menyenangkan bagi individu yang kreatif dalam menuangkan ide dalam bentuk kata-kata. Asli deh, kalo buat aku sendiri sih nge-blog itu sangat sangat menyenangkan, cuma memang jujur sungguh bukan alasan, buatku tuh susah banget cari waktu kayak sekarang gini; anak-anak pada tidur. Kemudian ya, jujur juga bukan alasan, susah banget dapetin drive dan motivasi untuk nulis, terutama NGGAK DIBAYAR. Jadi kadang lelah badan bisa ngalahin ide kreatif nulis dan beberapa random shit yang sebenernya bisa aku jadiin isi blog aku. Di sinilah antusiasme pembaca jadi motivasi buatku, yang mana juga readership blog aku adalah 0 besar, jadilah aku ngga nulis-nulis HAHAHAHA semua ini gara-gara pembaca, pembaca! LOL Ya intinya nulis itu nggak segampang yang kalian kira... kadang susahnya bukan pada nulisnya atau idenya, tapi pada waktu dan kapasitas badan (serta motivasi) jadi faktor juga :(

Seriusan deh, aku tuh selalu dan sering punya ide untuk dituangkan ke tulisan, terutama di blog. Tapi karena keterbatasan kapasitas yang kubilang di atas, sering juga Twitter dan Instagram jadi pelarian. YA MEMANG ITU KAN ALASAN KENAPA MEREKA UNGGUL dibanding blog.


ide nulis juga sering muncul just from my incidental click at old pictures



SUDAH SUDAH BALIK LAGI PADA TOPIK:
People really need to adjust when it comes to a new workplace, even though when they think they belong to that new place they are into. Because different company means different culture, and different people bring different value. Hence, different value implies on different working-style. Not that anyone or anything is better than anything else, but merely because adaptation and adjustment may need some time. This 'time' is what some people spare or have too much, especially when it comes to business.

Well as in for myself in the company... I'll do what I can do best; juggling with many works from many places. God forbid anything happen to my health, lol.
