WRITING stories from the corners of Indonesia, rich with diverse culture, is not simple. Challenges are many. The process is cumbersome and tiring. Anyone interested in writing about any place in Indonesia should first travel far. He or she should spend time to talk and enjoy a few laughter with the local people. He or she should listen to their experience. He or she should capture the struggle and their bitterness of life. He or she should feel the surrounding nature. Then, of course, the stories should be shared narratively, as we enjoy a movie or listen to a storyteller

What happens if this applies to the so-called millennial generation?

Some doubt their capacity. This is a generation who enjoys access to internet since they are children. They live in the flood of information. They are surrounded by electronic media. This is a generation enjoying telegraphic-like, shallow information. Social media dominates their life. They show little care to their social issues.
