NaNo is just two days away! This year I'm planning to attend the Indonesian kick-off party at Pondok Indah Mall, a shopping center the way to which I'm familiar with. Last year's gatherings were mostly held at Gatot Subroto Road, and I was discouraged because 1) I'm not familiar with Jakarta and direction-blind besides 2) it was a season of floods.

Writing quote from Umberto Eco, via literaryquotes.

"All the stories I would like to write persecute me. When I am in my chamber, it seems as if they are all around me, like little devils, and while one tugs at my ear, another tweaks my nose, and each says to me, 'Sir, write me, I am beautiful.'"
- Umberto Eco, The Island of the Day Before

'Sir, write me, I am beautiful.'
