It's Good To Be Back

Finally I'm back.. 
After 2 years of hiding and finally finished my first novel.
Yeah, my first novel. And I'm very proud of it. 
At first I was just about to make it simple. I only think about writing, that's all.
After rejections from two major publishers. I spent my time to learn how to make a good story. 
From Pinterest..hahaha.. Yes, from pinterest. For me, pinterest is a new google. 
I joined some writing classes, and I got the point here and there.
So I chose to publish my book via an online independent publisher.
With the great support from my four best friends, finally the first copies of Love's Labyrinth was released on December 2015. I celebrated with some of my good friends at the restaurant nearby.
It's really an unforgettable moment.
Then when the book was got more attention from my friends, then came an idea to make an independent publisher. Then " Green Marshmallow Publisher" was born. 
The name "Green Marshmallow"  was after my first blog. 
So we're worked on my re-born Love's Labyrinth very hard.
I was doing my writing cause I planned to add some chapters in the book. It's not easy to write under pressure cause we had a very limited time, that we wanted to make it before our holy journey.
Then in October 2016, Alhamdulillah the Love's Labyrinth with extra Gentlemen's Stories was released. Right after we're coming back from our pilgrim.

That's the story.. 
So what I'm trying to say here is never give up on something. 
Follow your passion.
Don't stay in your comfort zone or you'll end up the same in another ten years.

Cheers, dhidie
