Am I in one?

I have several (read : many) stories left unfinished. Not that I don't want to create an ending for them, it's just I can't decide the best ending. I don't like a happy ending but in some ways I don't always enjoy a sad one. So, it's kind of in between.

However, I am planning to soon find a suitable one. Suitable? Hehehe...such a word, isn't it...yeah, coz I don't know yet weather it's going to end sadly or happily. Know what? I think some stories are meant to be sad while the others have their paths to happiness. So, meybe, I just let the story decide for itself and let my fingers do some crutial helps.

I am writing a new story. Not sure wether it's going to be a novel, or long stories, or even short stories. I got the idea on my way home from a gathering with my campus friends. No, not the conversation I had with them that inspired me, it was because I missed my baby so much (I left her at home, hiks!) and some books I read at Kinokuniya Book Store.

Books in the Bookstore and Libraries are teh things that inspire me the most. The second? It's my thoughts in the toilet. Silly right? But that's honestly one of the biggest confession I made. However, actually, I also have heard someone else made the same confession, about the toilet.

Back to the bookstore. I really had a great time there, in Kinokuniya. Gee, it was about time for me to go to a place where I could fine many good books. And, I enjoyed it so much. Nope, I didn't buy any novel (just read the covers coz some of the books were well wraped) but I bought a cheap thin italian dictionnary. The writings were inspiring. It gave me ideas on my stories, not copying of course, but on how they tell stories, the writers. So, from now on, I will spare more time in libraries or bookstores. Wanna see me? Just go to those places. Hmm...

But don't come see me in teh toilet, I will be doing a private thing there. No need to worry, I will share my thoughts in there, just read my writings. You will know what I think about...

Yes, correct, I would love to be a fiction translator. But, this is not just a fiction, it's literature, where a prose can be a poem, vice versa. I was thinking that my 1st translation task would be a kiddo book or chicklit or teenlit or something as simple as that...but now...hm...

Anyway, I like the story, not yet finish reading it but it's kind of a book that makes you think about many things, about life, beauty, science, etc. I think most of European writers are more than just writers, they are thinkers. 'Je pense donc je suis' seems to be part of their blood, it's genetical.

Now, here I am, trying to translate one of the best novels in the world (at least in Italy and USA). Hoping to manage it. Hoping to succed. Hoping not to give it up! *DON'T U EVER DARE, NUTS!*

So, there I was, stunned with the fact that I got the opportunity. It wouldn't be easy, I know but I am the kind of person who always want to try to do my best, and let the result talk for itself. Italian-Indonesian...wow! I learned the language for 3 semesters and got 3 A(s) but translating an italian literature...that's surely something, man! But then, they informed me that there is also the english transltion that might be able to help me go through my indonesian translation. ALHAMDULILLAH!

I would love to dedicate my whole life for literature, writings, books, anything that can be read on papers. But I am still not sure about it. I mean, I don't know yet if it could give me as much financial satisfaction as soul satisfaction. People do need money. Some offer me other kinds of job that might provide my financial life but it doesn't give any soul satisfaction to me. Now, I am still giving my self some time to contemplate to finally decide the best for me and my future.

As usual, I hate being in a position where I have to make a choice. I don't want to make a chioce, I want them all. Can I?
