Die bekende Wellingtonner Theo Kemp (43) het onlangs sy tweede boek, Strafjaart<\/i>, in Wellington bekend gestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kemp het n\u00e1 skool BA aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch gestudeer en daar sy honneursgraad in letterkunde asook sy MA in kreatiewe skryfkunde verwerf. Kemp het sy skoolloopbaan aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Nico Malan voltooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel dat sy Afrikaans-onderwyser die een is wat sy talent raakgesien en hom aangemoedig het om te skryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk beskou skryf as my stokperdjie, maar wens om eendag meer tyd daaraan te kan bestee,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Kemp is die uitdaging vir hom om die regte storie te vind om oor te skryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Skrywer bring ure der ure agter \u2019n rekenaar deur en daarom sal jou boek nie slaag as jy nie werklik diep in die onderwerp waaroor jy skryf ge\u00efnteresseerd is nie. As ek die regte onderwerp het, kom die dissipline vir my maklik. Dissipline is baie belangrik,\u201d vertel hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar gaan ure verby waarin jy skryf en bly krap aan tonele of karakters, want jy voel daar is nie vordering nie. Dan, op \u2019n dag, is daar \u2019n deurbraak. Skielik besef jy die storie kry momentum of die storie neem \u2019n draai wat jy nie verwag of beplan het nie. Dit is sulke magiese oomblikke wat jy nie werklik met iemand kan deel nie. Skryf is \u2019n alleenpad en daarom moet jy baie energie uit jouself put. Dit is moeilike, harde werk en jy moet die hele tyd kan oplossings vind. Maar as jy lank genoeg aan \u2019n storie karring, vind jy tog jou weg. En dit maak die wag die moeite werd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Strafjaart<\/i> is Kemp se tweede boek. Sy debuutroman is Skool<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Kemp was dit \u2019n onbeskryflike gevoel toe hy sy eerste boek in sy hande het. \u201cVir my is die lekker deel van boek maak ook die proses met die uitgewers \u2013 dan werk jy nie meer alleen nie. Daar is \u2019n span \u2013 \u2019n redakteur, \u2019n redigeerder, die omslagontwerper en dies meer. Dit maak dit opwindend. Maar saam met die boek in die hand kom ook die vrees en die afwagting \u2013 hoe gaan die boek ontvang word? Hoe gaan mense dit lees?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kemp werk tans by die Jakes Gerwel-stigting. Die stigting fokus op die bevordering van skrywers en boeke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is baie belangrik om skrywers te onderskraag, en dit is waarmee ek myself besig hou en al hoe meer wil doen. Maar ek wil in dieselfde asem ook my skryfwersloopbaan uitbrei. Ek is nou op die regte ouderdom, waar ek myself die eerste keer as \u2019n skrywer beskou,\u201d s\u00ea Kemp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat is volgende vir di\u00e9 skrywer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit neem my \u2019n hele tydjie om weer tot my sinne te kom. Dit is asof ek nog vasgevang is in die vorige storie, en ek moet wag \u2013 met oop sintuie \u2013 vir die volgende storie,\u201d s\u00ea hy.\u2022 Strafjaart<\/i> word deur Penguin uitgegee en kos R270.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
