And, lucky you, I plan to tell you all about Pennebaking, but not until I have told you this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>We started our <strong>Summer Festival of Writing<\/strong> last year because our plans for our regular, physical Festival were thrown into disarray by the pandemic. Then, partly for the same reason, but also because the Summer Festival was such an obviously brilliant thing to do, we ran it again this year, with fifty or sixty live events running across the whole summer.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><em>We\u2019ve now taken the decision that the Festival is so awesome, we should make it as widely available as we possibly can. So from now on, <strong>the entire Summer Festival will be free (and exclusive) to Jericho members<\/strong>. That means, if you\u2019re a member, your membership has just become a whole lot better. If you\u2019re not a member, then you have about fifty or sixty additional reasons for feeling sad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>OK. Nuff of that. Back to International Pennebaker Day:<\/p>\n<p>James Pennebaker, a US psychologist, was interested in trauma. He knew that trauma of any kind is associated with bad health outcomes, but what if those suffering trauma were good at talking about their ordeal? Would that make a difference?<\/p>\n<p>Pennebaker decided to investigate. His first thought was that some traumas carried more shame than others. (So, for example, the death of a child by suicide might be more shameful to the parent than a death by car accident.) So perhaps the nature of the trauma would be highly correlated with outcomes?<\/p>\n<p>He investigated and it turned out that the exact nature of the trauma was essentially irrelevant. Instead, what mattered \u2013 and it mattered a lot \u2013 was what people did with that trauma. If you had a bad experience and talked about it with friends, or family or a support group, you were largely spared the adverse health effects. If you stayed schtumm, you were much more likely to become physically ill.<\/p>\n<p>That was interesting enough, but what if you didn\u2019t talk about your problems? What if you just wrote about them?<\/p>\n<p>Again, Pennebaker investigated. He asked a group of people to write \u2013 for fifteen minutes a day, for four consecutive days \u2013 about the most upsetting experience of their lives, preferably one they hadn\u2019t shared extensively with others. A control group undertook a similar exercise, but wrote about their homes or their workdays, or something else forgettably bland.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, and with permission, Pennebaker got hold of everyone\u2019s medical records and found that those who had written about their trauma got much less sick than those who did not. An hour\u2019s unstructured writing had yielded major health benefits \u2013 a remarkable discovery.<\/p>\n<p>But further research got more interesting still.<\/p>\n<p>If people were asked to describe their emotional difficulties via music, or dance, or painting, they got no benefit. What\u2019s more, if people came to the writing exercise already fluent in their description of their trauma, they obtained no particular benefit to writing it down. The people who benefitted were the ones who made progress over the four-day period; who gained in insight, who built a story.<\/p>\n<p>Now all that is interesting in itself \u2013 blooming interesting, if you ask me. But we\u2019re writers, either already professional or with aspirations to be published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does Pennebaker\u2019s research mean for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well: I don\u2019t know, but here are some things that occur to me.<\/p>\n<p>First, if you have experienced major trauma, you should write about it. It doesn\u2019t matter whether that trauma was newsworthy or not, of public interest or not. All that matters is that you write about it, for your own mental or physical health. You\u2019ll be glad that you did. It\u2019s an amazing thing to do and you\u2019ll definitely feel better for doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, I should probably tell you now that memoirs of personal trauma usually aren\u2019t saleable for a mixture of reasons. There are some significant legal obstacles \u2013 libel and privacy \u2013 for one thing. I know of one really strong memoir, well-written and shocking at the same time, which found an agent, but which publishers declined to take on for fear of the possible legal consequences.<\/p>\n<p>But, look, what publishers do really doesn\u2019t matter. That\u2019s not the point. <em>You\u2019re <\/em>the point. Write it for you.<\/p>\n<p>Third, I do wonder whether all novelists don\u2019t in some way write books in order to deal with some deep psychic issue \u2013 or more accurately, our life experience simply smuggles itself into our work, whether we want it to or not.<\/p>\n<p>John Le Carre spoke somewhere (I haven\u2019t been able to find the quote) that he found himself always writing about love and betrayal. It\u2019s the theme that resonates through his work and one born of childhood insecurity: a conman father, a mother who deserted him. When you read things in Le Carre, like \u201cDo you know what love is? I\u2019ll tell you: it\u2019s whatever you can still betray.\u201d, you know you are reading about the author as well as the character.<\/p>\n<p>If you notice things like that happening, let them happen. The richest novels always have deeper themes stirring beneath the surface. I don\u2019t even think you need to analyse those themes beyond a point. I always love it when I\u2019ve written three-quarters of a book, or am doing my tenth edit of a completed draft, and then think, \u2018Dang me, I\u2019ve been writing about X all along and never noticed before now.\u2019 Sometimes that X is a directly personal thing, but often it isn\u2019t, or at least not so obviously as in Le Carre\u2019s more colourful case.<\/p>\n<p>And all this makes me wonder: does writing novels have a health-protective effect? If we sublimiate our emotional difficulties and work them out via space opera \/ detective stories \/ Regency romance \/ literary fiction \/ dystopian YA, does that work as well as doing the Pennebaker exercise, the way he set it out?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to guess not, but (A) I bet it does something beneficial, and (B) it does seem, from Pennebaker\u2019s work, that there really is something special about words, as opposed to paint, music and all that. (The \u2018lesser arts\u2019 as we can agree to call them.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which gives us a conclusion of sorts, I think.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If any of you have real trauma to deal with, I think the Pennebaker exercise looks genius. Four days. Fifteen minutes a day. Just write, don\u2019t judge. The science says you\u2019ll be wiser, happier and healthier for that (tiny) investment.<\/p>\n<p>And all of us: if traumatic events smuggle themselves, subliminally, into our fiction, then great. Our fiction is likely to be the better for it. As you know, I can be quite analytical about fiction, but when it comes to that personal\/fictional interface, I tend to be quite incurious. I somehow feel that if my unconscious wants to work a few things out via my story and characters, I\u2019m probably better off leaving it be. I\u2019ll look after the story. My unconscious can look after its Pennebaker-chores.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it from me.<\/p>\n<p>In this week\u2019s, <strong>Kids Being Barmy news<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>I screwed some castors onto an old wooden pallet and added a rope to pull it along with. The four kids pull the pallet up the road outside the house, then ride it downhill with the younger boy shouting, \u2018Crash coming up! Crash coming up!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>His predictions generally come true within a few seconds of being issued. So far, no major injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Folks, today is International Pennebaker Day; I have so decreed it.
