A Writing Tip from Journalism Professor Peter Jacobi

This morning, I open my e-mail and found a new massage from my friend with the subject: A Writing Tip from Journalism Professor Peter Jacobi.

I want to share this e-mail to you because I think this e-mail is very good for us.

The necessity of voice—with writing we cannot ever become someone else. Yes, we can learn much from other good writers and, I guess, from bad writers, too. We can emulate the good ones, but ultimately if we are to succeed, we must discover and disclose our own voice, our own sense of style, our own particular embrace of language and information.
Consider by way of explanation, by way of definition, these words: authentic, no formulaic, rhythmic, properly detailed, nuanced, musical, magical, bone-and-sinew touching. Consider the show-verses- tell concept. Consider noun-and verb-cantered writing. Consider experiential closeness. Consider the startling, the inescapable, the visual, the conversational, and the different with a purpose. Consider the vital and the energetic. Consider writing that pulses with a heartbeat of the writer—his soul, her personality—something that cannot be duplicated because it comes from within a someone.
This tip comes from a general session given by Peter at the Highlights Foundation Writers Workshop at Chautauqua. If you'd like to learn from Peter in person, join us for the 2008 workshop. Find out more at www.highlightsfoundation.org.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to others who might want to see this writing tip.
Peter P. Jacobi is professor emeritus of journalism at Indiana University and a consultant with magazines and corporations, helping CEOs, writers, and editors learn to express their ideas more effectively. His articles have appeared in World Book, The New York Times, Highlights, and others.

Fiction: Re-Writing, Translating, Adapting, and Writing Masterpiece

Sometimes, when I wish to write fiction, I rather confuse how to start it. The problem is that I frequently find, there are many kind of fiction written, start from rewriten fiction, translated fiction, adapted fiction and so on. One of my friends then told me some tips dealing with it. Below are some tips I remember:

1. Rewriting
The fiction whichis written not based on our own idea. We just re-write the story. Mostly the fictions are folklores in the society which are difficult to traced who the author is, Sangkuriang, for an example. We can re-write the folklore, ofcourse in a better version.

2. Translating
The fiction is a translation of fiction from another country of foreign fiction. For novice authors translating fiction is a good start to write a fiction. From this point they may learn so many things dealing with fiction including idea exploration. As long as the fiction has a good story and it's not published yet or is unfamiliar to he society, the publisher such as children magazine will easily accept and publish this kind of fiction.

3. Adapting
For some fiction author, they are not satisfied if the are just simply translate the foreign fiction. Hence, they are adapting the fiction from another country. For example, a fiction from China will be different in their hand. They may adapt the story and take Javanese culture as the setting, change the name of the characters and finally it become a new fiction. Therefore, the author of such fiction should honestly state the source in the new fiction.

4. Writing masterpiece
The idea of the fiction is our own idea and we are free to state our name as the author of the story. Sometimes, maybe we are not so sure with the diction, evenles if the fiction take a far away country as the setting of the fiction. To convince the publisher we may state that the fiction is original and is written based on our own idea.

Then the next question is about fiction with famous characters in it, such as Kabayan, Abunawas, and other cunning character. For those kind of fiction, the author may take it as someone's masterpiece so that they can rewrite, translate, adapt or even take it as their own masterpiece.
