In some circles, "Writer" has become a term of station and significance beyond its original meaning. Like the Platonic "Philosopher," modernists edged the Writer (along with the "Artist") beyond a mere occupation to a state of being, a prophetic and exilic stance from which to observe and critique mainstream society.

Americans like Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, and Henry Miller found that they could become Writers only by leaving home and settling in expatriate communities abroad, especially in Paris. Writing thus became a transcendent act, a means to objective knowledge beyond the specific mores of particular societies and the point of departure for future movements and possibilities. For them, often, Writers are born and not made; as such, their whole being is taken to be infused with sacred purpose.

Arguably, the modernists' Writer is no longer possible in the postmodern condition. Recognizing that no particular viewpoint offers objective knowledge, postmodernism makes the transcendent observer and critic seem less plausible. In addition, the rise of media technologies that is part and parcel of postmodernist experience places the modernist Writer's printed word in competition with electronic media like television, film, video games, and the internet.

In this context, literary artists have tended to recognize the commercialism and commodity built into their work. Rather than a transcendent purpose in itself, writing again becomes a means to an end. Dave Eggers, for instance, has used his success as an author for political purposes and to support other aspiring writers. While having learned from the modernists' suggestion that writing can be an agent for change and a definite vocation, postmodernists reject the objective stance and wonder what the particular perspectives of writers can contribute.

Blog Writers

Blog Writers

Amateur writers are often attributed as bloggers. Blogs are avenues by which to get information or opinions out into the Web for exposure. Bloggers have taken on a new wave of communication seeking to benefit all Internet users. Anyone with Internet access and a computer can set up a Web site or blog wherein to publish his/her writing.

The difference between writing on a blog versus a Web site is the amount of readers, along with the credibility each receives. Though blogs are generally informal and written by individuals, although marketers and advertisers have recently taken to them and use them as a tool to promote companies and receive feedback from consumers.

Blogs are easy to create in the 21st Century due to the availability of templates offered on free blog Web sites. With blogs being easy to access and editable for both blog authors and readers, the contributions are virtually limitless.

Blogs and blog writing are taking on more meaning than just idle gossip between users and contributors. Educators are seeing the benefits of maintaing blogs in the classrooms as an educational tool. Teachers are able to keep an easy-to-maintain line of communication open with parents and other educators. Blogs also stimulate students to compose reflective responses to issues within an open forum.

Internet Writers

Internet Writers

A writer is anyone who creates written work, although the word more usually designates those who write creatively or professionally, or those who have written in many different forms. The word is almost synonymous with author, although somebody who writes, say, a laundry list, could technically be called the writer or author of the list, but not an author. Skilled writers are able to use language to portray ideas and images, whether fiction or non-fiction.

A writer may compose in many different forms including (but certainly not limited to) poetry, prose, or music. Accordingly, a writer in specialist mode may rank as a poet, novelist, composer, lyricist, playwright, mythographer, journalist, film scriptwriter, etc. (See also: creative writing, technical writing and academic papers.)

Writers' output frequently contributes to the cultural content of a society, and that society may value its writerly corpus -- or literature -- as an art much like the visual arts (see: painting, sculpture, photography), music, craft and performance art (see: drama, theatre, opera, musical).

In the British Royal Navy, Writer is the trade designation for an administrative clerk. Internet Writers

The popularity of the Internet has opened the door of opportunity to many established and aspiring writers alike. This medium of communication has also given rise to the question of writing quality in the Internet age. Writers’ advocates believe the Internet has led to a lower level of writing standards.

While new modes of communication through the Internet are constantly advancing and changing, the issue of writing quality questions the very definition of writing in the Internet age. Whether writers are devoted to the craft or not, they are expected to be able to write well both offline as well as online, or at least recognize the difference between the two.

When writing for the Web, it is the content that matters. “Writing for the Web is very different from writing for print. Print today remains superior to the Web when it comes to visible space, image and type quality, and speed.”Web visitors are quickly scrolling through sites seeking specific information and will not always take the time to read every word. Traditional writing techniques and standards are less of a priority, as multiple headings, bullets and lists are needed to aid scanning readers. Although reputable writers compose much of this writing, the quality can appear less than professional. Also, with the increase of tech people writing for the Web, the rules of grammer need to be put into effect.

Writers not writing for a living often find enjoyment and small payouts from Web sites seeking material to raise their sites higher in the search engine rankings. Although this is a legitimate philosophy, the writing being published on the Web can often be less than professional. This lack of professionalism distorts the line between qualified and amateur writers. Writing standards are often not the highest priority as Web sites seek to drive traffic to gain advertising exposure. It seems as if readers are not as concerned about the writing quality, as long as they feel they are reading a relevant account on a particular topic.

Secret Begin Writers [Rahasia Memulai Menulis]

Rahasia Memulai Menulis
Oleh ARDA DINATA

"Mulailah dari apa yang ada, karena yang ada lebih dari cukup untuk memulai pekerjaan."
(Mohammad Natsir)

Menulis adalah sebuah pekerjaan. Artinya kita harusnya serius ketika melakukan aktivitas pekerjaan agar hasilnya tidak mengecewakan. Begitupun, dengan kegiatan menulis. Kita harusnya terus berlatih tiada henti dalam mengasah ketrampilan menulis, sehingga hasilnya tidak mengecewakan.

Banyak temen-temen di tanah air yang SMS dan kirim email ke saya menanyakan, “Bagaimana Pak rahasia untuk memulai menulis itu?”

Aku kadang sekenanya saja menjawab, karena lewat SMS itu terbatas jawabannya. Untuk itu tulisan ini mungkin bisa melengkapi jawaban saya yang pernah temen-temen terima sebelumnya.

Ingat, sesuatu pekerjaan itu akan terasa mudah dan mengalir, bila yang kita lakukan itu betul-betul telah akrab dengan dunia kita sehari-hari. Resep ini pun bisa kita terapkan bagi temen-temen yang ingin belajar menulis.

Untuk itu, mulailah bikin tulisan dari apa yang ada. Artinya, mulailah kita menulis dengan tema-tema yang kita sukai, kuasai, minati, ada dalam keseharian, dan pokoknya yang materinya betul-betul telah akrab dalam keseharian kita (baca: materinya betul-betul kita miliki, dan bahkan telah menguasainya… he….).

Dengan bermodalkan hal-hal yang telah kita kuasai, maka saya yakin belajar menulis itu akan menjadi lancar, lancar dan lancar….! Coba saja kalau tidak percaya!!!! Hal ini diakui pula oleh Mohammad Natsir dengan ungkapannya: “Mulailah dari apa yang ada, karena yang ada lebih dari cukup untuk memulai pekerjaan.”

Jadi, rahasia memulai bikin tulisan itu adalah dengan belajar menulis tentang sesuatu yang telah ada dalam diri kita. Itu adalah modal terbesar yang bisa kita manfaatkan dalam berlatih menulis. Bagaimana menurut Anda…. ???***

Writers .... [Menulis Dengan Ilham]

Menulis Dengan Ilham
Oleh ARDA DINATA
Email: arda.dinata@gmail.com

"Saya menulis dengan ilham."
(HAMKA)

Ilham berarti petunjuk yang datang dari Tuhan dan terbit di hati; atau merupakan bisikan hati. Ilham juga dapat diartikan sebagai sesuatu yang menggerakkan seorang penulis untuk membuat tulisan.

Jadi, keberadaan ilham ini merupakan sesuatu yang sangat berarti bagi seorang penulis. Untuk itu, segera ikat ilham yang muncul di hati seorang penulis itu dengan menuliskan kata-kata dan kalimat ilham tersebut dalam sebuah (kertas, buku) kumpulan-kumpulan ide secara khusus. Sebab, ingat ilham itu belum tentu datang lagi menghampiri kita di kemudian waktu. Kalau pun hadir kembali, itu pun prosesnya saya yakin cukup lama dan susah memancingnya. Ada yang pernah merasakannya?

Setelah ilham itu kita catat, HAMKA seorang Ulama dan penulis produktif pada jamannya, menyarankan dengan mengatakan: “Membuat karangan jangan ditunda-tunda, setelah bahan terkumpul baru menulis.” Inilah anjuran HAMKA kepada anaknya, Rusydi Hamka.

Untuk itu, saran saya, begitu ilham menghampiri kita, maka segera menuliskannya dalam bentuk tulisan. Biarkan pikiran kita mengalir menuliskannya. Baru setelah kita selesai menulis, rehat sejenak dengan merujuk pada sumber pustaka yang kita punyai (buku, kliping, kamus, dll) sesuai tema terkait dengan ilham tersebut.

Berdasarkan pengalaman, bila kebiasaan membaca kita bagus dan didukung pengarsipan dokumentasi sumber pustaka yang baik, pengembangan ilham itu akan mengalir dengan sendirinya. Pokoknya, kita akan konek (secara alami) dengan tema-tema referensi sejenis yang kita miliki. Kalau udah begini…, indah banget rasanya…!!!

Jadi, segera ikat ilham yang hinggap dalam pikiran dan hati kita dengan segera menuliskannya. Yang jelas dari kebiasaan membaca yang baik, ilham (baru pun) itu akan muncul dan sekaligus akan memperlancar menuangkan ilham dalam media tulisan. Bagaimana menurut Anda, setuju …..???***
