Die bekende Paarlse skrywer Alta Cloete (66) het onlangs haar 30ste kort liefdesverhaal die lig laat sien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Nuut begin<\/i> is Cloete se dertigste romanse in die Romanza-reeks wat deur Lapa-uitgewers uitgegee word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is die derde boek in \u2019n reeks van drie (Weer begin<\/i> en Oorbegin<\/i> is die eerste twee) wat gaan oor drie sussies se finansi\u00eble en emosionele herstel n\u00e1 die pandemie,\u201d vertel Cloete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy verduidelik romanses is kort liefdesverhale met \u2019n gelukkige einde. \u201cErnstige kwessies word wel aangeraak, maar die ontwikkeling van die liefdesverhaal moet altyd sentraal staan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Cloete publiseer Lapa elke maand vier boeke in die Romanza-reeks en sy is een van die skrywers wat vir hulle skryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete het n\u00e1 die geboorte van haar eerste seun tydskrifverhale begin skryf en haar eerste boek is op 51-jarige ouderdom gepubliseer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete is ook bekend vir die skryf van haar gewilde Geur- en Seisoen-reekse wat tussen 2010 en 2014 verskyn het. Dit bestaan uit sewe boeke wat oor \u2019n uitgebreide familie- en vriendegroep en hulle kinders gaan. Die Geur- en Seisoen-reekse is liefdesromans met ernstige temas, maar eindig altyd met hoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor waar sy haar inspirasie kry om romantiese fiksie te skryf, meen Cloete die inspirasie \u201cwemel oral rondom ons van idees en mooi verhale \u2013 \u2019n mens moet net leer om daarvoor op te let\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar is inspirasie \u2019n baie klein deel van die proses. \u201cDie res kom deur vasbyt en dissipline. As \u2019n mens net op inspirasie wag, gaan jy baie min gedoen kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy meen ervaring kan wel help met hoe lank dit \u2019n skrywer neem om \u2019n boek te voltooi, omdat ervare skrywers weet wat vir julle werk en wat nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Mens kan byvoorbeeld baie tyd bestee om foto\u2019s van die karakters in jou gedagtes op Pinterest te soek of om \u2019n speellys vir jou storie saam te stel. Vir sommige skrywers help dit om aan die gang te kom, maar vir my vertraag dit eerder die proses van skryf.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete het ook al \u2019n liefdesverhaal, wat as \u2019n Superromanza gepubliseer is, geskryf, sowel as \u2019n boek oor depressie, waarin sy haar eie ervaringe as iemand wat vir jare met depressie saamleef, deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook \u2019n bydrae gelewer tot die bundel Vrydagaand<\/i>, wat onlangs bekendgestel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die jare het sy reeds altesaam 41 boeke gepubliseer, maar sy meen dit is nie die aantal boeke wat belangrik is nie, maar die egtheid van die stories en die gehalte van die skryfwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSkryf is \u2019n eensame werk en dis nie maklik om jou brein-baba, wat eintlik uit jou hart kom, vir die w\u00eareld oop te gooi wanneer dit gepubliseer word nie. Dit is egter geweldig bevredigend om te dink mense bring ure van hul kosbare tyd deur om jou boeke te lees. Ek skryf juis romantiese fiksie omdat dit my help om die harde werklikheid te hanteer, en dis ook wat dit vir my lesers doen. Lees is \u2019n skadelose manier van ontvlugting, en liefdesverhale help veral vroue om weer moed en krag vir hulle daaglikse take te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is ook heelwat mans wat liefdesverhale lees, maar hulle is nie altyd so openlik daaroor nie,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voordat Cloete \u2019n voltydse ma en daarna skrywer geword het, was sy ook \u2019n bibliotekaresse, \u2019n graad R-juffrou en \u2019n skoolbibliotekaresse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloete en haar man het twee seuns, wat tans al twee as ingenieurs gekwalifiseer is en in Noorwe\u00eb as navorsers werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cElkeen van daardie stadiums het \u2019n deel gedoen om my vir my skryfloopbaan voor te berei, al het ek dit nie toe besef nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buiten haar liefde vir skryf, geniet sy dit ook om Afrikaanse boeke op sosiale media te bevorder en werk sy ook hard daaraan om die stigma rakende depressie en ander geestesiektes te help verbreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk werk ook saam met Paarl Homeless Cats om huislose katte in die Paarl te versorg en te laat steriliseer, asook om huise vir die klein katjies te vind. Ons bied ook \u2019n liefdevolle tuiste vir \u2019n hele paar diere wat andersins \u2019n veel moeiliker lewe sou gehad het. Niks kan die teenwoordigheid van ons kinders vervang nie, maar om vir \u2019n hulpelose dier \u2019n nuwe lewe te bied, bring tog groot bevrediging en baie warmte in ons lewe.\u201d.<\/span> Vir meer
