Handsome Chef Heart Enthusiasts
Chapter XXII (Love Adriana Agatha)
The second day, Chef learned to write a novel
Tips for finding ideas I discussed yesterday. Today I will teach the same third lesson Mas Sweet. The next step to writing a novel is that the author has to create an outline. The outline is the storyline. Every human must compile a list of what is done in the future to live purposefully. Likewise, the author must make an outline for the story to be directed. So the story in the novel does not muter-muter like soap opera. The outline is not the same as the synopsis. If the synopsis of the storyline is written briefly, the outline is actually written in detail.
In addition to the outline you create there should be an opening/introduction, conflict, climax, ******down, troubleshooting, and ending. Usually that opening/introduction is in chapters 1-2, conflicts in chapters 3-4, ******* rising in chapters 5-6, *******down 7-8, down 7-8, solving problems in chapters 9-10, ending chapter 11.
“You have an example of not a good and correct outline?” ask Mas Sweet.
“There. Wait.”
My right hand moves the cursor to open the ‘outline’ file
Chapter 1
Daughter (name and physical character is up to you) she is tomboyish and loves watching detective dvd conan and reading detective novels. A desire to make a detective group. To build a team of detectives, he took 2 friends.
Chapter 2
The detective team officially stood up, and then they came here to look for cases.
Meet with a police officer investigating the theft. The tomboy and his two friends volunteered to help the police find out the perpetrators of the theft. At first the police hesitated to cooperate with the little boy, but the police tomboy's daughter's persuasion withered as well.
Chapter 3
Interrogate the victim of the theft, look for clues in the scene and analyze the culprit.
Chapter 4
Interrogating a potential suspect.
Chapters 5-6 (ending is up to you)
“Where have you gone back to lum?”
“Udah.”
“Well, now I give you the task of making an outline consisting of 7 chapters in, time 10 minutes.”
Mas Manis's eyes bulged. “Whats? I will still unyu where can make an outline consisting of 7 chapters in, time 10 minutes.”
“Try first. People who want to succeed, abstinence from saying the word can not be started.”
“He deh. Girls always really.”
While waiting for Mas Manis to complete the task of making an outline, I filled the time to play HP. Just look at the homepage of instagram, facebook, line, reply BBM and whatsapp. I glanced at this guy beside me. It was a manyun expression. This is a golden opportunity to capture the unusual expression of Mas Sweet.
As soon as the photo is saved, I immediately upload the photo on instagram with the caption, ‘It has been 2 days chef @agustawimala learned to write novels. This is his experiment when he does not love the task of making an outline. It's funny, isn't it guys? Hahaha.’
Seconds by seconds keep rolling. I glanced towards the wall clock attached to the corner of the living room Mas Sweet. The hour hand shows at 11.10 WIB. “Udah ten minutes, how is the outline task completed?”
“Udah.”
Now it's my eyes that glare as soon as I see the results of the outline written by Mas Sweet. “What's the conflict of the main character of the girl made amnesia? The character created by amnesia is already BASI. It has been there since 2002. Do you remember Meteor Garden II? The Tou Ming See was made of amnesia. Indonesian soap operas are also mostly definitely the main figures of amnesia. When I read a novel, the character there is an amnesia immediately stop reading. Predictably the ending, the memory of the character recovered if his head was hacked. I'm more if your novel character made love quadrilateral.”
“It looks like the lesson is enough to get here. But before I get home, you don't give me PR just yet. Well, since you can already make an outline, the PR is you write chapter 1 as in the outline ranges from 5-10 pages. In chapter 1, you should highlight the character of a strong character.”
“Produce strong character figure how is it?”
“Gini tablets, Say. God created man to have 3 components of character. Among them: Physical characters, character traits, and unique habit characters. So if you want your character to be strong yes enter only 3 components of that character.”
Mas Sweet mangosteen. Not because they understand or sleepy. “Someone who wants to be asked is not, Mas?”
Silent. Absolutely not a single word came out of Mas Sweet's mouth. “OK. I assume you understand. I go home first. Tomorrow I come back here to correct your PR. If you don't know PR, I'll shake your head to amnesia.”

On the third day, Chef learned to write novels.
I scrunched my forehead while poking at the temple. The PR chapter 1 that Mas Manis did was completely beyond my expectations. Story telling as an SD child, over attack ‘ku or me’, and plus trouble in putting punctuation. I would love to spray it all out like I did to the writer Arsha Teen but why can't my heart. Maybe because of love. Love always wants to make me happy, not break his spirit.
“If my work is bad say yes. I'm used to being criticized. Your comments remain more concerned Chef Juna.”
“Your writing is good. It's just over attack ‘ku or I’, and plus trouble in putting punctuation. Then again why try the character Agatha made selfish, stubborn, nagging, parnoan, suspicious of people and like to ride a car?”
“I wrote nothing. You are like that, right?” He asked back while showing off his innocent look.
“Sotoy's. We only know 6 months, so you don't know anything about me,” ketusku.
He took out a smartphone from his pocket. “Hey, I told you that again learning to write novels do not play HP.”
“I don't play HP. I Just wanted to show you something.” Not long ago Mas Sweet pointed his smartphone at me. “Nih, try to see for yourself. It's proof that what I wrote is true.”
My eyes widened, on the smartphone screen Mas Sweet full screenshots of my status on facebook. The first status when I nagged because of the dibulin friend. The second status when I was suspicious to the neighbors took my package. Third status when going to Jakarta. Oh, dearGod. How shameful I am in front of Mas Manis. If it's like this I can no longer cover my ugly nature to him.
I glared at him. “So you are diem-diem stalker FB-ku?”
“And you yourself said, if you write the novel do not half. I defended your FB stalker for my novel character strong.”
“But in case you think better your novel characters should not be exposed all in the beginning chapter. Save create in middle and ending.”
“Oh, is that it? I have revised.”
“Eh, Mas, from tomorrow until the 14th date do not come to your home first yes. I'm not good with your neighbors. They were staring at me cynically this morning, whispering. They must think I'm a girl who is not real because every day comes to the house of men.”
“Yes too? I don't think the bad effects? How do I learn to write a novel if you are not at my house?”
“Start tomorrow you work on chapter 2 until the end. If anyone wants to be asked, it can be via chat or video call. Easy right?”
Not to forget I took out two books from the sling bag perched on the shoulder. The first book was a 1 Month 1 Novel? Who's Afraid! – guidebook writing my work. While the second book 101 Sins of Beginner Writers by Isa Alamsyah. “Two of these books can make you write more and more novel at once can make your writing more saucy bin.”
“Udah at two noon, I go home first huh. PR was done. If your novel doesn't run, I'll tell all the reporters that you're lazy-fragile-payah.”
Heavy indeed in a few days I have to refrain from meeting with people I love but what can make it than there will be slander? Especially if there are no rumors. I'm not ready for infotainment yet.
