Hi, this is an upgraded version of my profile:

I'm a free lance writer, translator and editor based in Jakarta, Indonesia. I do my job mostly in my own language, but once in a while I get assignments in English too. Since becoming a Fanstory member two years ago (starting May 2009) writing in English became less and less a problem to me.

My love for the English language originated far back in my past, when my siblings and I had a live-in teacher, an Englishman who taught us his language, told us stories, and even subscribe us to a couple of British comics.

This interest grew when, after high school, I studied at the Faculty of Letters, English Department.

After graduation I landed several 'odd' jobs until I got the one of my dreams, as writer/editor of a teenage magazine. During my long career in the media, I stayed in the group of magazines, moving from one magazine to the other. I was most fulfilled when I became editor-in-chief of a parenting magazine, which enabled me to visit other parenting magazines in Germany, the Netherlands, and USA.

It was during my early employment in this group that I became attracted to story writing. At first it was to fill in the pages, but later on it became a favorite pastime and a need. I also published a collection of short stories and two short novels.

At present I live only with my husband, as our two children have already had families of their own. Once in a while I spend some time with my three granddaughters, now aged 10, nearly 7 and nearly 5, telling them stories and sharing with them the wonder of words.
