SKRYF EN INSPIRASIE: VAN KLEINBERG TOT GROOTBERG
Deur Pieter-Dirk Uys
Soms sê mense vir my: ‘Ek weet nie wat om oor te skryf nie.’ Dan behoort ek te antwoord: ‘ Dankie Vader! Ons het genoeg skrywers. Doen iets die moeite werd. Word ‘n verpleegster, of ‘n onderwyser. Jy sal meer mense se lewens red.’
Maar as jy wil skryf, ontspan. Dis nie jou keuse nie. Die draak van ontginning het jou klein hikkie van talent bespeur en sal jou verslind, vir jou in sy bloedige bek deur die donker gange van sweet en drang sleep totdat jy eendag uitgeput en oorgewig sit met ‘n BOEK in jou hand. En die naam op die voorblad is joune. Maar jy ken dit nie, want dit was nie jou storie nie. Jy was net die pen, die kortskrif. Die skrywer.
