Derek Caelin is writing a book

✊ Today I hit the 40,000 word mark on my book on #TheLordOfTheRings and the modern environmentlist movement!

As I hit this milestone, I am writing about mental health and depression in response to the climate crisis.

Depression emerges from the cumulation of our daily stressors. In some ways it is evidence that we are aware, conscious of the failings of the world we have built.

#ScribesAndMakers 3.6 — Tell us about a book you go back and read over and over. What do you love about it?

(I broke something on my bookshelf just to retrieve these two books, so I hope this post is worth the strife. Crystals and glass went everywhere.)

Let me preface this by saying that I am a huge fan of Tolkien as both a human being and as a writer. My library has an entire section for Tolkien's Legendarium. It's overflowing at this point.

On the left we have my own copy of The Silmarillion, and on the right is my father's. He took that book across the country, while backpacking and later while living in his VW bus. It's special to me. The book, as a whole, was what drew me to writing in the first place. As a child, my dad first read The Hobbit to me before bed, and then The Lord of the Rings after. It was off to the races from that point on. The Lost Tales and The Unfinished Tales followed. When I got my hands on The Silmarillion, it sealed the deal for me. This is a comfort book for me, even though I cry buckets at the myths and tales within. That's okay, though.

Two copies of The Silmarillion sit side by side on the floor. One is smaller and clearer newer, and the one beside it, on the right, is older, larger, and the cover is torn in some places from wear and tear.

Derek Caelin is writing a book

Somehow I've reached 30,000 words in my exploration of #TheLordOfTheRings and its lessons for the #ClimateCrisis.

I spend a big portion of the book looking what characters do when they come to despair. Word 30,000 came as I was exploring Éomer's defiance of the black fleet during the battle for Minas Tirith.

We may not feel hopeful about the coming years, but even so, we have to keep going.

A screenshot of text, reading: Out of doubt, out of dark to the day’s rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope’s end I rode and to heart’s breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall! These staves he spoke, yet he laughed as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them. (King, ?) In some ways, Éomer is Denethor's foil. While Denethor's reaction to the black ships is to slay himself, Éomer is on the battlefield. He defies his enemies even as he prepares to be overwhelmed. His reward is that he quickly realizes that the ships belong to Aragorn who brings critical reinforcements. Éomer achieves victory by recommitting himself to action despite his despair.
