On Fertile Ground: Healing Infertility

Dear Friend,

I found this book and had to share it. Millions of people worldwide suffer from infertility, which you may not realize is a biological, psychological, social and spiritual crisis that can take years to come to resolution. Helen Adrienne’s new book, On Fertile Ground: Healing Infertility is not only a explanation of the infertility experience, but it also puts the challenge in perspective, provides a mind/body program to deal with this adversity and reframes the situation in ways that allow for enormous growth. http://bit.ly/fAWsAm


We all know someone experiencing infertility. This holiday time was especially difficult for them. Those struggling with infertility will benefit enormously from this book—but so will their friends, family, doctors and therapists. On Fertile Ground will be a great gift to all who read it because it offers tools and teaches skills for coping with difficult situations.


Here’s what the author, Helen Adrienne, LCSW (psychotherapist) says: “This book springs from a well deep within me. It is my well but it is fed by a universal well originating from the pure waters of womanhood and motherhood. I wrote it from a tide of compassion for the infertile patient, with whom I have had the privilege of working for over three decades as a psychotherapist. http://bit.ly/fAWsAm

I called the book On Fertile Ground because our emotional nightmares are our teachers. If we look the infertility nightmare in the eye, it is fertile with possibilities for growth. Nightmares can free us to discover our higher potential. On Fertile Ground teaches readers how to build self-awareness, allowing them to respond to the enormous stress of infertility rather than react to it. Absence ofself-awareness can result in the loss of opportunity to adapt to and grow from this unwanted change.

I knew from my own nightmares that nurturing self-awareness was central to healing. My training and experience in mind/body therapy and clinical hypnotherapy has allowed me to guide patients in a mind/body quest with mind/body interventions. On Fertile Ground promises to open a path to enhanced growth and satisfaction in the midst of this difficult time.


I hope this book is beneficial to your and yours - please share it and enjoy the more than 80 wonderful downloadable bonsu gifts offered by Helne's friends and colleagues! Check it out: On Fertile Ground: Healing Infertility

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, ...

Character Sketches

    How to bring your characters to life.   Assuming you've chosen your POV, you will already be thinking about your characters. True, too, you may have been thinking about your characters before choosing your POV. The two go hand in hand, or word-for-word. In order to flesh out your characters and give them ample zing, it's a good idea to make lists of attributes for each player in the plot. However thorough, you must then write your scenes to fit each character. That is, each scene that you write when a character appears in the story should reveal what you planned for him or her when you made your list, and how you planned for them to act. Of course, as the story develops, any character may take on a different persona than you first imagined. That's not a problem. Amending the original sketch will suffice, keeping in mind how the new character image affects all the other characters and the plot overall. I've always been interes...
