I got many project last week, and the
peak was at weekend. I prepared for pitching forum and sharing session in
Ministry Education and Culture. This event was organized by National Book
Committee from 29th-30th
September 2016. One of best author from Pustaka Obor Publishing (actually my workplace),
Hanna Rambe, had a chance to present with the theme “From Page to Screen”. She wrote
a historical novel titled “Aimuna dan Sobori” in original version and “Cloves
for Kolosia” in English version. Her novel was chosen by the committee because
it was very deep knowledge and it imagined clearly about historical of cloves
in Moluccas. To write this book, she researched thirty years, asked many
professors, read many books, and came to the museum for accompanied information
to fix her writing.
I admire Mrs. Hanna Rambe. She inspired me when she told me about her
experience. I was really happy when I heard the announcement about accepting
her novel in this event. I prepared to register this event for 7 days, because
this event required summary of the novel in English, curriculum vitae and
original book’s file. I called my friend who was very good at translating, her
name was Adibah. Mrs. Hanna Rambe summarized the novel for 3 days, and there
will be 4 days left before deadline. It is very short time to the translation.
I called my friends and I hope she was ready to finish this challenge. When I
called her, she didn’t answer my calling. I was very worried, because besides
of this project I have to prepare some events in Indonesia International Books
Fair (IIBF) 2016 that had been held from 28th September to 2nd
October. This event happens at the same time with The Pitching forum, so I must
ask my work partner to take one or two event.
In the evening, I called Adibah
again. And God blessed me, she answered my calling and was ready to finish the
translation. I sent the requirement in the end of deadline. After I got the
announcement, I gave it to Mrs. Hanna Rambe. She was very happy, I was touched by
her. And then we prepared to show in Pitching Forum. We made slide of
presentation, editing handout and searching more information about the
Producer. Two great Producer from Germany will come to this event, we felt so
amazing and we thanks for the committee who invited us. We really hoped our novel will be accepted by the Producer
and will have a movie based on this book
in German.
After The Pitching Forum finished, my
project was not over. I must do other events in IIBF 2016. Among others are
Pre-Launching Bosnia Poetry, Book’s Launching Kajian Perempuan Malaysia-Indonesia dalam Sastra, Korean Poetry
Competition and Story Telling. So, It was very exhausting. I needed more energy
to study in the evening because I had many targets. One of my targets is
improving my English skills. So even though I am tired or not, I must manage my
spirit to get a successful. (Irf)
