BPK2013 also known as Bengkel Penulisan Kreatif 2013

Oh My Gawd!!!!
Salina Ibrahim came to UiTM Lendu this morning...
Excited?
Of course I am! Who wouldn't?
A well-known author drove from Damansara to UiTM Lendu just to give a talk...
Awed...
As an author, Ms. Salina said that you have to use all of 5 sense to write a novel..
To see, to touch, to hear, to smell and to taste...
Highly sensitive, perceptive, imaginative and creative

A novel is like a tree...
 Your imagination as its soil
  The theme is its roots
   The tree-trunk as the plot
    The shoot is the climax
     Branch as the sub-plot
      Leaves, Fruits,Flowers are the finishing touch...

iDE@s? - the behavior of mankind...
              - true story
              - inspiration from other authors
              - manipulation of all sorts
              - create a story from your imagination

There are many other topics that she mention but it is in Bahasa Malaysia therefore I have difficulty to translate all of it today...
Maybe some other time..

By the way, the BPK2013 was conducted by KOMED Association, UiTM Lendu, Melaka
