To develop the outline that has been made, the writer must be creative in choosing words that are in context and have value. Writing is not just pouring ideas that are in mind, but writing is an activity that trains writers to think critically and creatively. Many people have difficulty making an essay that has high artistic value. For example making biographies. Many difficulties encountered by the author in making biographies such as developing an outline based on data. Sometimes the data needed is inadequate and sometimes the author has difficulty entering data that has been obtained from biographical figures that will be written according to the outline. I was very fortunate to follow this creative writing course. Because for me, writing skills are in the first position of all three other skills such as listening, speaking and reading. In America and Europe, writing is not seen from the number of words and sentences obtained but writing is seen from the authenticity of the writing as it is protected from plagiarism and the results of the writing have academic values ​​that can be published.

At that time, Mam Rahmah told us to show our draft and progress in making biographies. But, all of us did not take them to the class. Because I'm afraid that if I take that stuff to class, surely something bad happens like a file is missing and scattered. So, to fill the time due to this matter, mam Rahmah told us to continue drafting and telling her what we had done on our assignment that day through email. I got the difficulties. It took a strong concentration to drafting in class. Because there are many disturbances that have to be dealt with such a noisy class and become not conducive and do not forget to friends who always invite make some chit chat. It makes my writing mood instantly destroyed. I can at least write in such circumstances. Ideas that were initially thought immediately disappeared. In fact, just writing a paragraph requires about 30 minutes. It really sucks. If you are lucky and the classroom atmosphere is comfortable, we can ask friends if the writing we wrote is correct. But that's only if you're lucky.
