Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The

Enid Mary Blyton (1897–1968) was an English author of children's books.

Born in South London, Blyton was the eldest of three children, and showed an early interest in music and reading. She was educated at St. Christopher's School, Beckenham, and - having decided not to pursue her music - at Ipswich High School, where she trained as a kindergarten teacher. She taught for five years before her 1924 marriage to editor Hugh Pollock, with whom she had two daughters. This marriage ended in divorce, and Blyton remarried in 1943, to surgeon Kenneth Fraser Darrell Waters. She died in 1968, one year after her second husband.

Kamo no Chōmei

Kamo no Chōmei (鴨長明?, 1153 or 1155–1216) was a Japanese author, poet (in the waka form), and essayist. He witnessed a series of natural and social disasters, and, having lost his political backing, was passed over for promotion within the Shinto shrine associated with his family. He decided to turn his back on society, took Buddhist vows, and became a hermit, living outside the capital. This was somewhat unusual for the time, when those who turned their backs on the world usually joined monasteries. Along with the poet-priest Saigyō he is representative of the literary recluses of his time, and his celebrated essay Hōjōki ("An Account of a Ten-Foot-Square Hut") is representative of the genre known as "recluse literature" (sōan bungaku).

Usahakan baca minimal 1 fiksi, dan 1 non-fiksi setiap bulan. Fiksi untuk hati, non-fiksi untuk kepala.
–
Ini juga pesan untuk kawan-kawan yang mencoba merintis jadi penulis. Jika ada yang menganggap karyamu baik, maka syukuri dan jangan terlalu terbang. Rekam itu di ingatan, jadikan dorongan untuk memberi dampak dan membawa pesan-pesan yang seru dan penting.

Jika rupanya ada yang tak suka, memberi kritik, saran, itu tak masalah. Beberapaa kritik malah bisa jadi pelontar yang ampuh untuk karyamu berikutnya. Lagi pula, orang sudah keluar uang untuk beli karyamu, masa mengkritik saja tidak boleh. Selama sesuatu itu karya manusia, pasti ada saja retak-retaknya.
