Latihan

[10 Mei 2005]

"Katanya mo buat buku, Les?"
"Eh, kata siapa?"
"Kata si Na..."
"Oh..., itu."

Sore itu aku sedang berada di taman bacaan milik temanku sesama Aikidoka. Letak taman bacaan itu di dekat Universitas Widyatama di Cikutra. Aku baru saja mengembalikan "buku aneh" (menurut Teh Yuti) yang kupinjam dari situ. Sudah terlambat seminggu dari waktu yang seharusnya. Kena denda deh...

Di sana aku sempat menonton anime dan mengobrol dengan Merry, salah satu temanku yang sedang berjaga. Dia sendirian. Makanya aku menemani dia beberapa puluh menit. Dan kami membicarakan kabar teman-teman kami. Lalu salah satu teman dia dikabarkan sedang menulis buku, berupa dwilogi. Lalu bla...bla...bla..., pembicaraan kami berlanjut sampai Merry menanyakan pertanyaan di atas padaku.

Aku menjawabnya dengan menjelaskan ini:
"Waktu itu udah ada idenya. Tapi pas mau nulis, sangking banyaknya ide yang udah numpuk di kepala selama ini, malah hang nulisnya. Ales selama tiga tahun terakhir udah jarang nulis. Yang minimal aja enggak, nulis diary. Jadi Ales udah gak terbiasa lagi menulis..."

Kusambung lagi:
"Udah kacau begitu, malah mau nulis yang serius kayak novel. Ya gak bisa! Akhirnya Ales milih untuk nguras semua ide yang ada di otak selama tiga tahun ini, tapi dibiarin ngambang di otak. Jadilah blog Ales penuh dengan tulisan. Dan sekali posting bisa sampe lima. Kalo enggak sebanyak itu, rasanya otak hang karena ada file yang gak di simpen atau ditata di tempat lain (maksudnya ditulis). Itu yang harus dilakukan supaya bisa mengimbangi kecepatan aliran ide yang keluar dari otak (abisnya selama tiga tahun diendapin)...."

Ya. Itulah yang menyebabkanku jadi "gila-gilaan" (menurut beberapa orang) dalam mengisi blog ini. Aku, katakanlah demikian, "terpaksa gila-gilaan" karena kalau tidak, pikiranku tidak akan jernih. Seperti tertutup oleh semacam hijab yang menyebabkanku tidak bisa konsentrasi pada hal yang kujalani sehari-hari.

Ada temanku yang menasihatiku supaya berjaga-jaga agar jangan sampai kebiasaan mengisi blog menjadi kronis. Dan jangan sampai jadi "blogacholic".

Aku berterima-kasih dan sangat menghargai nasihat itu. Yang bisa kukatakan adalah penjelasan di atas dan penjelasan ini: Aku mengetik sebagian besar tulisan di tempat lain dan waktu lain. Tidak pada saat aku online. Jadi aku tinggal copy dan paste aja dari file MS Word.

Yah, begitulah. Aku menggunakan kegiatan menulis blog sebagai latihan "menulis kembali" setelah tiga tahun hampir vakum sama sekali. Dan menulis disini bukan sekedar menulis diary lagi. Tapi menulis pengalaman hidupku dalam bentuk yang bisa dibaca oleh orang lain juga. Jadi hal-hal personal yang tidak terlalu personal juga, seh. Nanti seiring dengan jam terbangku yang makin tinggi dalam menulis, insya Allah kemampuan menulisku terasah juga. Dan pikiranku jernih karena peristiwa yang kualami memiliki jarak denganku (baca maksud dari "jarak" ini disini).

Subjektivitas dalam menulis itu pasti ada kok Les, jangan berusaha menghilangkannya. Persoalannya sekarang tinggal bagaimana kita mendekati kebenaran, dengan metode yang objektif.

Pikiran boleh subjektif, metode harus tetap objektif, gitu.

Nggak mau nyoba reportase nih, bener?

Unknown said...

Reportase apaan, Kram? Nanya itu mbok ya sambil ngasih informasi tentang apa yang ditawarkan. Ales itu gak ngerti maksud "reportase" yang Ikram bilang. Reportase untuk apa? Dimana? Kapan? Bagaimana? DLL...

Yuti Ariani said...

Nah, sekarang karena hijabnya udah tersingkap, sebentar lagi bakal ada novel dunk. Asyik... bisa kecipratan royalti, numpang beken, dapet cerita banyak hehe.. Reportase? Mau ngereport kuliah KPB ngga? Trus laporannya yang lengkap, biar bisa difotocopy.. biar cepet lulus dan bye..bye.. Math...

Eh iya juga ya. Gua main tanya aja. Maksudnya tuh, Ales nggak mau nyoba jadi wartawan? Melakukan reportase (reporting on something) itu asyik loh. Dicoba aja.

Bukan laporan praktikum, bukan. Itu sih nggak asyik.

Unknown said...

Huf...!
Itu toh maksudnya. Ales emang udah punya rencana untuk cabut secepatnya dari Matematika ITB dan ngelamar kerjaan di makajlah Tempo atau di koran Tempo atau di Kompas. Kalo blom dapet, paling jadi penulis lepas atau ngajar privat. Atau nyoba2 kerja di penerbitan, jadi apa kek! Atau, nyoba ngelamar di Pikiran Rakyat...

Fu...
Banyak ya?

Hey,

I'm just browsing sites for the children of Haiti.

I'm doing my part for a non-profit haiti group that is devoted to giving time to
creating oppurtunities for the kids in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then do so here:

[url=http://universallearningcentre.org]Donate to Haiti[/url] or Help Haiti

They give kids in Haiti a positive learning environment.

Please check them out, they're a real cause.

It would be awesome if you could help us

Now I would' ve used ChickHen to flash custom firmware to his psp but he updated to 5.55. So I was wondering if the Half Byte Loader program would be able to run the 5.50 D3 installer at all, since I noticed the program is beta and apparently as many problems left, long enough to flash firmware without bricking his psp.
