Days Without End by Sebastian Barry

Possession by AS Byatt (I got all my 3 ideas from this book)

Redwall by Brian Jacques (what on earth is it about about a bunch of anthropomorphized mice in a castle - god, I loved these books as a child)

Strangers: Homosexual Love in the 19th Century by Graham Robb (I love this writer - he covers a lot of subjects I am interested in)

Why Love Matters – Sue Gerhardt

Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby’s Brain by Sue Gerhardt (2014) SECOND EDITION

Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and physical health. This second edition follows on from the success of the first, updating the scientific research, covering recent findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, and including a new chapter highlighting our growing understanding of the part also played by pregnancy in shaping a baby’s future emotional and physical well-being.

Sue Gerhardt focuses in particular on the wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler’s developing nervous system. When things go wrong with relationships in early life, the dependent child has to adapt; what we now know is that his or her brain adapts too. The brain’s emotion and immune systems are particularly affected by early stress and can become less effective. This makes the child more vulnerable to a range of later difficulties such as depression, anti-social behaviour, addictions or anorexia, as well as physical illness.

Why Love Matters is an accessible, lively, account of the latest findings in neuroscience, developmental psychology and neurobiology – research which matters to us all. It is an invaluable and hugely popular guide for parents and professionals alike.

____________

“Sue Gerhardt’s choice of title reflects the loving attention to detail that is the essence of this book… excellently researched and well-written book which deserves to be widely read by practitioners, researchers and parents.” Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice

“Sue Gerhardt has written a vitally important book – a must-read for every parent, teacher, physician and politician.” Daniel Goleman, author Emotional Intelligence

___________________________

REVIEWS of the first edition

Finally, an explanation on why abandonment is so damaging, By Dwight DeLong I am the director of a foundation that works in Romanian orphanages and children’s hospitals. For years we have been perceived as amateurs by the therapists because we focus on providing the children with individual attention and affection. It is such a HUGE relief to find a book that makes our work worthwhile. The damage that Dr Gerhardt describes is seen 100 times over in children who have not just been disregarded, but have been truly abandoned: left to themselves for month after month with only staff workers to change and feed them. Babies that stop crying because no one responds to their desperation are horribly broken. The attitude that they will grow out of it is so misguided and hurtful. I would LOVE to have the book available in Romanian. It could have a profound effect if people understood what is happening when they think that taking care of the baby’s physical needs is enough.

Essential reading This book is essential reading for all parents and anyone who works with small children. It’s particularly refreshing to read a parenting book that can back up its claims with real research findings, and which has enough respect for the reader’s intelligence to allow you to draw your own conclusions on how you treat your child in the light of it, rather than the dumbed-down, unsupported ‘rules’ too many other books offer. We all know our children flourish with love and support – thank god for an author who is brave enough to say so and show us the evidence!

145 of 151 people found the following review helpful: The Key to a better society and a better world, February 2006 By D. R. Silvester Before examining the book’s content I believe it is important to state that in my opinion this book would be a far easier read for those with some background knowledge of John Bowlby’s attachment theory, or at least prior reading on the subject of parent-child relationships. Obviously I am speaking from my own level of intelligence, (not too intelligent but an avid reader) I should imagine that there are many parents and lay people who would enjoy reading this book without the above prerequisites. For maybe the first third of the book I found it quite heavy going because the focus is upon the development of the child’s brain in relation to certain types of parenting. Therefore, there is a lot of exploration into the structure of the brain and how certain parts such as the Hypocampus and Hypothalamus work in conjunction with other parts such as neurotransmitters like serotonin and cortisol. Initially the book seemed quite cold and technical. Moving on, the book goes on to provide strong evidence for the work of John Bowlby and Attachment theory, illustrating how neglectful, emotionally ambivalent and emotionally distant parenting styles create brain structures and chemical imbalances that leave children prone to rage, aggression, hyper tension, violence, depression and addiction in adulthood. At times I found the book disturbing when considering how many children are disadvantaged in this way, especially considering the problems they face in later life. On the other hand this book is of huge importance to the lay person, professionals, policy makers and most particularly anyone who has or plans to have children. The prominent message here is that a great many, if not all, of our social ills, war, violence, addiction, crime and murder (to mention but a few) are the consequences of unresponsive and abusive parenting. Undoubtedly many parents may feel defensive reading this book, but I would defy anyone to offer a scientifically sound counter argument to the evidence presented within it. Also it is worth noting that the main thrust of the book is not to establish blame, but to throw light on what was previously unknown so that we may eradicate these needlessly destructive patterns. The bottom line is that this book has huge potential to effect massive social change. In seeing how these maladaptive attachment and parenting styles lead to first personal problems and then serious social ones, we have the solution to making changes for the future of our children and theirs in turn. Overall this book is a humanistic subject approached from a scientific perspective. Make no mistake this book is one of the most important I have and ever will read. Without a doubt it will also be the same for anyone reading the book. Finally, in addition to being highly informative, it is also optimistic in pointing out that change is not impossible, but prevention is the key to a better society and a better world.

Richard Bowlby, the man with the British accent, put this 13 minute video together. He interviewed Allan Shore (UCLA) and Alan Sroufe (University of Minnesota). They are both experts on child development and attachment theory. Richard Bowlby made the video for people in the field who are wanting to know the how secure attachment has a major positive impact on early brain development in humans. Richard Bowlby is the son of John Bowlby.

“Attachment researchers have found the children in such families [where negative emotions such as anger or hostility are not acceptable] learn to appear calm and unconcerned, but when measured, their heart rate and autonomic arousal is rocketing. They are dysregulated. Rather than getting help with returning to the comfort zone, the child learns there is no regulatory help with such feelings. They try to suppress the feelings and switch them off altogether, but are rarely successful.”

- Sue Gerhardt, Why Love Matters

Well managed babies come to expect a world that is responsive to feelings and helps to bring intense states back to a comfortable level; through the experience of having it done for them, they learn how to do it for themselves.

Why Is Craniosacral Therapy in Abbotsford Essential for You?

Craniosacral therapy in Abbotsford is a type of hands-on healing that balances the patient’s body and energy field. It’s a gentle, non-invasive therapy often used to treat headaches, jaw tension, neck discomfort and other types of pain.

What does Sport and Spine in Abbotsford includes?

Craniosacral therapy promotes the natural cranial rhythm through light touch on various parts of the head and upper back. Patients can experience relief of neck pain, tension and headaches. Sport and Spine Abbotsford services include Craniosacral therapy.

History and Origins

In 1985, a cranial therapist named Sue Gerhardt became the first person in the United States to obtain a license to practice cranial therapy. Since then, cranial therapy has grown immensely, and more therapists are now trained in this technique.

The word "craniosacral" is Greek for "of the skull bone. The practitioner uses their hands slowly and gently to move the various parts of the patient’s head. The therapist also may use gentle tapping and light pressure on the patient’s back, neck and other areas to release craniosacral fluids that can build up.

The practice is usually not covered by health insurance because the technique has not been proven effective for medical or psychological conditions. Patients can seek the help of a Craniosacral therapy practitioner, who may charge a sliding fee on a case-by-case basis.

Research investigating the effectiveness of cranial therapy is limited. However, according to an article published in Alternative Medicine Review, some evidence suggests that craniosacral therapy may help with certain conditions.

Benefits

The technique has been used to treat children whose helmets or neck braces have caused headaches, migraines and other problems. The patients are instructed to wear their helmets or brace during the treatment. Some individuals could even stop using their helmets entirely after receiving craniosacral therapy.

One study published in the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice found that cranial therapy helped with chronic tension headaches for 14 participants in one study. A smaller 12-person study published in the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice found that cranial treatment relieved people with chronic tension headaches. The 11th person who received craniosacral therapy stopped using his neck brace after the treatment.

Craniofacial therapy is a specialized form of physical and occupational therapy for infants, children and adolescents that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial conditions.

A child with a craniofacial condition may have some or all of the following characteristics: cleft lip/palate, micrognathia (small lower jaw), Down syndrome, Preacher Collins syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence.

These conditions can be the result of birth trauma, environmental factors or inherited disorders. The severity of these conditions varies from person to person and affects their daily lives such as breathing problems which can often lead to sleep apnea disorders among other things. Craniofacial therapists work with both the patient and family in order to improve safety

Conclusion

Cranial therapy is a gentle, hands-on healing practice used to treat pain and discomfort caused by the human spine and surrounding nerves. It’s a type of non-invasive treatment that works by promoting the natural cranial rhythm through light touch on various parts of the head and upper back. The practitioner also may use gentle tapping and light pressure on the patient’s back, neck and other areas to release craniosacral fluids that can build up.

Craniosacral therapy may help with some conditions, including headaches caused by wearing rigid neck braces or migraines. Patients may receive benefits within a few sessions.

Quote

Indeed, consumerism and materialism are themselves widely recognised today as key drivers of a whole raft of mental health problems, from addiction to depression. As George Monbiot notes, ‘Buying more stuff is associated with depression, anxiety and broken relationships. It is socially destructive and self-destructive’. Psychoanalytic psychotherapist Sue Gerhardt has written very compellingly on this association, suggesting that in modern societies we often ‘confuse material well-being with psychological well-being’. In her book The Selfish Society she shows how successfully and relentlessly consumer capitalism reshapes our brains and reworks our nervous systems in its own image. For ‘we would miss much of what capitalism is about,’ she notes, ‘if we overlook its role in restructuring and marketing desire and impulse themselves.’ Another key aspect of capitalism and its impact on mental illness we could talk about of course is inequality. Capitalism is as much an inequality-generating system as it is a mental illness producing system. As a Royal College of Psychiatrists report noted: ‘Inequality is a major determinant of mental illness: the greater the level of inequality, the worse the health outcomes. Children from the poorest households have a three-fold greater risk of mental ill health than children from the richest households. Mental illness is consistently associated with deprivation, low income, unemployment, poor education, poorer physical health and increased health-risk behaviour.’ Some commentators have even suggested that capitalism itself, as a way of being or way of thinking about the world, might be seen as a rather ‘psychopathic’ or pathological system. There are certainly some striking correspondences between modern financial and corporate systems and individuals diagnosed with clinical psychopathy, as a number of analysts have noticed.

“ ... Mental illness is now recognised as one of the biggest causes of individual distress and misery in our societies and cities, comparable to poverty and unemployment. One in four adults in the UK today has been diagnosed with a mental illness, and four million people take antidepressants every year. ‘What greater indictment of a system could there be,’ George Monbiot has asked, ‘than an epidemic of mental illness?’ ... “

“ ... Experiences of social isolation, inequality, feelings of alienation and dissociation, and even the basic assumptions and ideology of materialism and neoliberalism itself are seen today to be significant drivers ... Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist Jay Watts observes in the Guardian that ‘psychological and social factors are at least as significant and, for many, the main cause of suffering. Poverty, relative inequality, being subject to racism, sexism, displacement and a competitive culture all increase the likelihood of mental suffering. Governments and pharmaceutical companies are not as interested in these results, ...”

“ ... There are clearly very powerful and entrenched interests and agendas here, which consciously or unconsciously act to conceal or try to deny this relationship, ... Commentators often talk about society, social context, group thinking, and environmental determinants in connection with mental distress and disorders, but we can I think actually be a bit more precise about what aspect of society is mainly driving it, is mainly responsible for it. And in this context it’s probably time we talk about the c word – capitalism. Many of the contemporary forms of illness and individual distress that we treat and engage with certainly seem to be correlated with and amplified by the processes and byproducts of capitalism. ... “

“ ... In his classic essay ‘Therapy in late capitalism’ (reprinted in The Political Self), Kovel refers to the ‘colossal burden of neurotic misery in the population, a weight that continually and palpably betrays the capitalist ideology, which maintains that commodity civilization promotes human happiness’:

‘If, given all this rationalization, comfort, fun and choice, people are still wretched, unable to love, believe or feel some integrity to their lives, they might also begin to draw the conclusion that something was seriously wrong with their social order.’ ... “

“ ... This understanding of alienation is really the core issue for Marx. People probably know him today for his theories of capital – how issues of exploitation, profit, and control continually characterise and resurface in capitalism – but for me the key concern of Marx, and one that is constantly neglected, or misunderstood, is his view on the centrality and importance of human creativity and productivity – man’s ‘colossal productive power’ as he calls it – exactly as it was in fact for William Blake, slightly earlier in the century. ... “

“ ... Indeed, consumerism and materialism are themselves widely recognised today as key drivers of a whole raft of mental health problems, from addiction to depression. As George Monbiot notes, ‘Buying more stuff is associated with depression, anxiety and broken relationships. It is socially destructive and self-destructive’. Psychoanalytic psychotherapist Sue Gerhardt has written very compellingly on this association, suggesting that in modern societies we often ‘confuse material well-being with psychological well-being’. ... “

“ ... Another key aspect of capitalism and its impact on mental illness we could talk about of course is inequality. Capitalism is as much an inequality-generating system as it is a mental illness producing system. As a Royal College of Psychiatrists report noted: ‘Inequality is a major determinant of mental illness: the greater the level of inequality, the worse the health outcomes.

Poppy Alexander Q&A

Back in March of this year, Carnation Books hosted an online party during which we watched a Bruins game with fanfiction author Poppy Alexander. Poppy, who is currently wowing us with her Sherlock Hockey AU Boyfriend Material, taught us about the game, gave us the scoop on her favorite team, and shared her thoughts on her fics and the writing process. We have reproduced portions of this conversation for our followers to read!

Note: The text below has been edited minimally and cut for length and clarity.

Lee:

So Poppy, have you been a Bruins fan your whole life?

PoppyAlexander:

My dad played hockey as a young kid and young man, and he took me to see the B's back at the old Boston Garden! I saw Cam Neely, Ray Bourque, so many greats. The '80s were great years for the B's. No Cups though.

It's currently the only thing my dad and I can relate on--other than his grandkids/my kids. We used to watch the UMass Lowell "chiefs" (now Lock Monsters), those games were local and cheap.

Lee:

Did something in particular inspire you to write Boyfriend Material?

PoppyAlexander:

I have wanted to write a Sherlock hockey AU since 2012. Sherlock as the goalie who reads the whole game, John as "captain"... so I've been cooking it up for a LONG time[...]

Sherlock is a much better goalie :3 [than Tim Thomas]. Sherlock is Tuukka Rask.

[...] John's career story (traded to get a Cup) is the story of a former Bruin (my FAVE), Ray Bourque, who played 22 years with the B's but had to go to Colorado to get his Cup. His playing is probably a bit like our man Tory Krug, though Krug is much younger than John is in the story. Especially since in his early years they didn't require helmets!

Kocur is Chara; tallest player in the league, veteran D. Thurston is Shawn Thornton, former Bruin now playing with FL Panthers, an enforcer. Bouchard is Patrice Bergeron, 37. Mellon is Brad Marchand, 63. Hatch is Tory Krug. Sawyer is Tyler Seguin, now playing for Dallas Stars, probably bisexual, so handsome, but too young for me. Gerhardt was former Bruin Dennis Seidenberg.

See if you can't google a pic of him with his shirt off and you'll see why John liked him.

[Someone in the chat points out Bruins goalie]

Yeah, watch Rask; that's Sherlock. Cool as a cucumber.

Gary_king:

Does an injury happen in the fic?? I imagine injuries are moderately common

PoppyAlexander:

No injuries in the fic tus far. Nothing to fight about yet. Nobody wants to take a penalty for no reason.

Lee:

Why do fights usually break out?

PoppyAlexander:

Breaks the other team's rhythm, the blue jackets and the stars like taking penalties for no reason (ugh bluejackets). sometimes as payback for a "bad" hit on one yr guys. sometimes personal beef (those usually come early in a game)

Sometimes team rivalries, like Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Fights are nearly unheard of in the playoffs, though; can't spare the players for those penalties.

Colleen:

[...]it seems like goalies are so well loved.

PoppyAlexander:

Very well protected. I love a player puffing his chest at a guy who gets too close to his goalie.

Colleen:

[...] Do they tap Sherlock on the head?

PoppyAlexander:

Yeah, of course. Hockey ritual!

Lee:

Do you read any hockey RPF, or is that not your thing? A few of us ship the cute boys in the penguins, just for fun 😄

PoppyAlexander:

I do not read RPF.

Lee:

Before Boyfriend Material, which of your fics is your fav?

PoppyAlexander:

My special baby is always Dissolution: Our Plague Days. Doesn't get as much love because it's rated T. But I love it. I am mad proud of At Night in the Floating World. And Dawn Before the Rest of the World is my happy, safe, cozy place.

Lee:

What was your first fandom?

PoppyAlexander:

My first fandom was Duran Duran. Like in the sense of being a swoony lunatic about something. I started writing fic in 1984: self-insert/Mary Sue RPF where I was married to John Taylor. We didn't know it was called fanfic back then, though.

It was just "my story" that I wrote 1000+ pages of in five years. So I forgive the MarySue-ing.

My first online fandom was Morrissey, in the mid 'Aughties.

Lee:

How far in advance do you write the chapters for your fics?

PoppyAlexander:

[Boyfriend Material] I started posting when I'd written about 50k, and currently I'm about 30k ahead of where the posted chapters are. I write the draft, then "pretty up" each chapter right before posting. This was a "15k" fic when I conceived it. HA! It will be 100k+ It's a novel. This is what happens when you cook a story for five years

I have not had a chance to mention Sherlock's number in the fic… John wears 18. I wanted him to wear 19 because it's my favourite/lucky number, but then I put Sherlock in #22.

So when they stand together: 2218

Gotta get it in the fic; so far it's only in my head.

Lee:

Do you have any fandoms besides Hockey and Sherlock? 😄

PoppyAlexander:

Currently? Still and always The Smiths/Morrissey. Criminal Minds. RuPaul's Drag Race queens. Doctor Who before Moffat took it over and wrecked it.

Lee:

Do you have a favorite sex scene and a favorite fight scene, from any of your fics?

PoppyAlexander:

I love the Johnlockstrade threesome in Overwhelm. And John and Sherlock fighting/fucking in the church in Body and Blood. It's hot. SO. MANY. KINKS in one place. church, fighting, hate sex, rimming… it really has it all. Lol

Lee:

I know a lot of the guests are writers too--any tips for writing hot sex scenes? 😉

PoppyAlexander:

OMG, so many. My main tip is subscribe to my blog at PoppyAlexander.com because I'm starting twice-monthly "how to write" series of posts, beginning next week. And one subset of that will be how to write erotica. I think there are some key things.

Have a "word bank" that suits the tone of the fic.

Like, in my really rough smutty stuff I use "cock" and "prick" but in a softer, gauzy 'verse like the 1920s one, I used euphemisms like "length" and "hardness." If it's romantic, loving sex, they might rock or glide, but in lusty, dangerous sex they will thrust and shove.

I think having one strong POV is the key to keeping those pronouns straight. It's hard to explain, but if you're writing John's POV, and you're really in it, you'll kind of automatically make John the default he/him and Sherlock will most often be Sherlock. or vice versa or whoever.

Epithets are awful. Use their names, I promise it's better. It scans better, makes sense, is not distracting.

I also think it's important to engage all five senses.

Personally, as bad as epithets are transcribed non-word sounds? (Like "ngh") Say grunted, groaned, snorted, hummed, moaned. Oh and Mm and Hm are OK, they're almost words. But ngh! is not sexy, in my opinion. But definitely check in with the sounds, the flavours, smells, temperature, texture… It enriches the scene. And those kinds of things can add to the tone. Like, if the sheets are scratchy and awful and omg I might be allergic to this detergent but my partner is RIGHT. THERE so I can't stop...

Lee:

Have you ever written with a partner, Poppy? Gary_King and I are writing partners and write together almost exclusively. Have you ever written a fic with someone else?

PoppyAlexander:

I have never written with a partner. I can't even imagine how it would work? Though there are a few writers I would say YES YES YES to and make it work, if they asked. No one has asked to collaborate, though, so. I wait.

Lee:

What's your editing process like?

PoppyAlexander:

Well, word processing is itself a kind of first-pass editing.

Write in a notebook with a pen sometime and you'll see what I mean.

But some of the best writing advice I EVER EVER got was to write the draft, start to finish, and at each writing session, DO NOT reread what you've written. That slowed me down so much, and I was constantly tweaking and tinkering. Now I just pick up where I left off.

My editing process is (for long fics) as each chapter is ready to post, it gets a last going-over.

If I have some kind of big epiphany about a scene I already drafted, that will have a major impact on things, or is a big rewrite, I'll go back to it when I think of it and work that scene.

But mostly I just write from start to finish, then go back to the beginning and rewrite.

I don’t work with a beta reader. Every upside-down bit of writing that says "Trust Issues Continue" ever, is about me. So that's not my jam.

Lee:

[...] Do you ever worry that you'll run out of steam on a fic? How do you keep your motivation going, or what keeps you going?

PoppyAlexander:

I worry more that quality starts to suffer in the third act because one does start to get itchy. You can see the end from there, you know how it's going to end, often writing the climax is challenging, and you have ideas for other things you've back-burnered and really want to get to. So that last third can get shaky if you're not careful.

Lee:

Do you juggle multiple stories or finish one at a time?

PoppyAlexander:

For some people working on multiple projects works. It does not work for me.

That can turn into seventeen awesome beginnings, thirteen middles, and zero endings.

I do have one other open WIP, a short one-shot, that I work on now and then for fun and will post when it's done, but I work on one thing at a time, no matter the length.

The exception is tumblr ficlets? I write those quite often to warm up for my writing session.

Like I wrote 10 of the 12 days of "Ficmas" on tumblr while I was writing Boyfriend Material, which is like 10k words together, not a small project, but it was not a priority.

And I haven't written the last two!

Lee:

Do you warm up every time you write?

PoppyAlexander:

Not really. I have rituals that lead to writing, and since scrolling tumblr is part of it, sometimes I end up writing a ficlet or an Ask answer or something, that's like a warmup.

But I have an established habit every evening, sit in the same place, at the same time, do the same stuff, and that time is sacred, and at 9:30ish, my body/brain knows it's time to write.

My productive hours are 9 - midnight. Most nights I write from 9:30 - 11.

If I'm stuck I might listen to a song that puts me in the right mindframe for the story, but I don't write to music. I prefer talking voices to music, so I turn on the TV, or use rainycafe.com .

But usually I just have it quiet if I'm at home. I like the noise of a coffee shop or whatever but I don't write out in the world much except during NaNoWriMo when my word goals are higher.

Lee:

Sometimes when you write for a fandom as big as Sherlock, you worry your fics won't get seen. [...] Do you have any thoughts on building an audience (besides "write things good enough to make people subscribe to you")?

PoppyAlexander:

I actually do not think I get read that much, in Sherlock fandom. I have loyal readers.

But I don't think I'm that well known. Maybe I'm wrong. LOL. BUT.

To answer that, I'd say I'm a good self-promoter. I think being reliable is a big thing. People know I will finish my shit. I've never left a thing unfinished.

And I'm prolific because of the time I devote to writing.

So I guess just flood the market and bang your own drum.

Guest:

When you first started writing (anything), how did you push through the writer’s block (and, what I struggle with, plot failure)?

PoppyAlexander:

I don't believe in Writer's Block. Just do the thing. I have never felt blocked. I have felt discouraged. I have doubted the quality or direction of what I'm writing. But the only way out is through, so I just keep writing and the next bit will be easier/better, and I can fix this mess later. But I love writing. I look forward to it all day every day.

Crysceles:

You may have answered this before, but what do you think is your greatest motivation to write?

PoppyAlexander:

It's just my thing. I've written since I was a little kid, it's just… automatic. It's my art. I just love it. Of course, the wonderful thing about writing fic is instant gratification, feedback, and interaction with readers. I love that and wouldn't give it up.

Lee:

Do you outline?

PoppyAlexander:

I don't outline in the traditional sense but I make notes and stuff. I kind of write a "treatment" at the beginning so that I always know what's happening next or at least later.

I have a thing I'll be posting on the blog, but there's a three act romance structure I like. The Point of No Return is the plot point [at] the midpoint of Act Two.

You open in the Ordinary World (before I met you). Then there's the Call to Adventure (first meeting) Debate and Denial (Who are you?). A Threshold to Cross (beginning a relationship) throws the characters into Act Two. Progress/"Fun & Games" (getting to know you). The Point of No Return (a deeper commitment), then Complications and Higher Stakes (falling for you). Then we get the Black Moment/Whiff of Death (break up) that puts us into Act Three. the Final Push (winning you back) the Climax (the happy ending), and the Aftermath (together with you).

It's a reliable organizing tool for a love story.

Lee:

It's more of a framework/tool, rather than a formula?

PoppyAlexander:

Right, it's a framework. Like a skeleton.

Romance is formulaic, with a few exceptions, but having this skeleton to hang it on can help organize a story so it doesn't meander.

Lee:

Do you have any thoughts on writing a story about an existing relationship? Would you adapt the framework somehow?

PoppyAlexander:

Sure, ignore those parentheticals I put in there, such as "first meeting" and "breakup" and substitute in the plot points in your story that fit. Maybe the Call to Adventure is a partner being offered a job in a far off city and the threshold to cross is asking the partner to move with them. Then the progress/fun and games would be talking them into it. The point of no return would be them agreeing. the complication would be...their credits don't transfer or their mother gets sick...leading to the whiff of death, Can we survive long distance? etc etc. You can use the basic structure to tell any three act story, really.

Carnation Books thanks Poppy Alexander for taking the time to chat with us. We hope you all have enjoyed reading this Q&A, and will follow us for more author chats like this!

Budowanie dobrych relacji -> minimalizowanie kosztów społecznych

(...) zapewnienie większej liczbie dzieci optymalnego startu z odpowiednim wyposażeniem emocjonalnym, umożliwiającym radzenie sobie z życiem, wymaga odpowiedniej inwestycji we wczesne wychowanie. Stworzenie warunków, w których każde dziecko ma rodzaj wrażliwej na ich potrzeby opieki, niezbędnej do odpowiedniego rozwoju, oznacza, że dorośli, którzy są za to odpowiedzialni, muszą być doceniani oraz wspierani w wykonaniu swojego zadania. Wiązałoby się to z całkowitą przemianą naszych kulturowych postaw. Zamiast kryć się z karmieniem piersią, zaczęlibyśmy je akceptować i doceniać. Zamiast izolować kobiety z dzieckiem w domach - opierać wychowywanie dzieci - bez względu na to, kto bierze na siebie tę rolę - na lokalnej społeczności osób dorosłych.

Sue Gerhardt “Znaczenie miłości. Jak uczucia wpływają na rozwój mózgu” (Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, Kraków 2016)

Unification Church babies dying and members starving – as they follow the orders of Sun Myung Moon

▲ Moon with his 1959 birthday cake at Chongpa-dong in Seoul. Pak Bo-hi is on the right, Eu Hyo-won is on the left.

The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification is another name for Sun Myung Moon’s organization.

Steve Kemperman: “Sharon related the story of the early days of the Korean Church—couples had sometimes left their babies in garbage cans to die. I’d heard about these tragedies before from the higher-ups and understood that there’d been barely enough food for the parents to keep from starving to death. But why then, asked Vick, had Sun Myung Moon continued to receive the choicest foods?”

Lord of the Second Advent (1981) by Steve Kemperman (page 20)

_________________________________

This testimony, given in the early 1980s, confirms the starvation.

Mrs. Kang Chung-won (36 couple), the wife of Lee Jae-seok

“We witnessed on the streets. In 1970, we left our children behind and went pioneering again for three years. This was the beginning of the tradition in the Korean Church, today, whereby all Blessed wives must go pioneering for the same period. After witnessing and doing itinerary work around the country I returned to my home. Immediately Father ordered me to work with the Woman’s I.F.V.O.C. and that is where I work today as the General Secretary.

Having attended Father until now, I think that those of us who still remain are those who submit themselves completely to Father’s words, those who have no self and those who are concerned only for the fulfilment of God’s will.

I was raised as a daughter of a rich family, and after receiving the Blessing I have suffered more than I can ever express in words. When I was pregnant with my first child, I was sent out witnessing. I had nothing to eat so I sometimes went to the mountains and gathered wild vegetables to eat. While I was witnessing, I fainted on the street from lack of blood. I once had no place to go and had to spend the night in the room of one of our members. At times I had to stay in a place like a storage house with many students. I endured these difficulties, however, because I knew that Father, too, had gone through much suffering. When I thought about his having walked the way of restoration through indemnity, my only thought was to accomplish his will for him. Father had told us that those who were rich before joining our church had to indemnify this by going through much poverty.

I kept these words and I went through the typical indemnity course. I would witness, with my baby son on my back. He became seriously ill. Because of malnutrition, he was always getting sick. I had no money to take him to a hospital so I took him to a Health Clinic for poor people. The doctor there felt so sorry for me that he gave me several years supply of vitamins for my baby.

In 1966 when our church began a movement to quadruple our membership I worked very hard because as the wife of a church director I had to stand on the front line. When we collected used articles to raise money for witnessing, I worked harder than anyone. Once on my way home from having visited the house of a member I suddenly felt all strength go out of my body and I fell down on the street. I began to sweat cold sweat and the right side of my body became paralyzed. Someone passing by stood me up against a fence and went to contact my church. Our members carried me into a room.

We had no money to go to hospital, so we locked the door to the church and prayed together. “Father, what shall I do if I am like this? Your glory will be hidden within me. I am not thinking of myself but of your will when I ask you to make this body whole again.”

After a week of praying like this, I recovered completely and started working again. My husband also worked so hard that he caught T.B. and sometimes vomited blood, but he never left his public position and maintained it to the end. When I look back upon my life I myself wonder how I could have come through such a difficult course without stumbling. Although I am not worthy, I have tried to become a person who can appear without shame on a page of history. I worked hard for the day when my children would ask me “Mother, what did you do for God’s will when we were small?” and I would be able to answer them with pride.

To help my husband I became a door to door salesman, I carried merchandise around in a cloth sack and sold them. I opened a dress shop, a small Chinese restaurant and sold guns.

One time I became so tired that I collapsed on a sofa and water shot out from my cheek like a fountain. I went to a skin doctor and he told me that this sometimes happens as a result of fatigue. He said that if the water had gone up to my head I would have died. He told me that God must be protecting me.

Even after giving birth to a baby, I didn’t have the chance to rest my body for a long time, because I had to keep working. During the effort to quadruple our membership, we came into contact with two ministers and had a revival meeting with them. This became the beginning of the Super Denomination movement.

I worked very hard at the dress shop to support my husband while he pushed forward, in spite of all opposition and persecution, to reach the ministers who were reluctant to attend our seminars. With the help of God my business went well but I never used any money for myself, never even making any clothes for myself.

Even while doing business I witnessed on the street and in the countryside whenever I had time. I always told my employees that I would not be doing that business forever and that if I were to be commanded to do public work I would have to comply.

Finally from December 1, 1970, I began the three year witnessing course. At the time my children were six, four and ten years old. Also I had not yet returned the money I had borrowed to open the dress shop. I couldn’t afford to be away from the shop for even an hour, but I left it behind and went to my witnessing area. A few days later I received a letter from my husband. He said he had always known that I was brave but had never thought that I could be as brave as this.

I have been opposed by society, expelled from school and criticized by all people. The reason I have been able to come through even the most difficult course is that I always think of how Father has suffered so much more in order to do God’s will and that I will endure anything for him. As long as the living God exists, I will accomplish his Will.

This is how I have come this far and this is how I will continue into the future. All of you are going through many difficulties now but let’s endure and become victors before God.”
