En ek het twee gehad. Maar hierdie blog gaan oor my Ma. My wonderlike, kreatiewe genie van ’n ma. Ja, ek is bevooroordeeld, en dit pla my nie. Ek erken onbeskaamd: Ek is mal oor my ma se boeke, haar karakters en haar verbeeldingryke manier om dieselfde storie oor en oor te vertel: ou ontmoet meisie, iets dramaties gebeur, en almal leef gelukkig en tevrede. ’n Ware Disney-feëverhaal.]]></description><link>https://www.schalkievanwyk.com/post/om-groot-te-word-met-n-skrywersma-minder-romanties-as-wat-dit-klink</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e4e8478e63193b95d059e8</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:16:38 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/83acd0_959c1921e8a04e4289d0eeb17a74cab3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Michelene </dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growing Up With an Author Mother: Less Romantic Than It SoundsOm ]]></title><description><![CDATA[There's a certain nostalgia people attach to the idea of growing up with an author as a parent. And I had two. But this blog is about my Mom. My awesome, creative genius of a mom. Yes, I'm biased, and I don't care. I unashamedly admit: I love my mom's books, her characters, and her imaginative way of retelling the same story: boy meets girl, something dramatic happens, and they all live happily ever after.
