Our roads run through Mirkwood, so to speak! Writers, like others, struggle with loneliness, discouragement, health concerns, family problems, and other serious long-term challenges. In light of that theme, not all of these reflections are upbeat. Nonetheless, our week together provided not only insight into writing, but also\u00a0<strong>hope, comfort, and companionship<\/strong>\u00a0as we journey through our own personal dark forests.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Catherine Haws<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2372224 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/CaddyHawsBlog-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" \/><br \/>\nSometimes before moving on to new territory, you must remember where you have been. At Winter Workshop each of the sessions <strong>built upon what we already know<\/strong>\u2014but need to be reminded of\u2014about writing and about life. With a solid foundation we can then launch forward into deeper, more meaningful places.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite memory was on New Year&#8217;s Eve in the fireside room. We gathered in a circle and <strong>shared children\u2019s picture books aloud<\/strong>. Old stories came to life as others heard the words for the first time. Some stories had hardly any words, but the simplicity powerfully\u00a0captured the\u00a0emotion\u00a0and\u00a0every listener leaned in, invested in the story.<\/p>\n<p>The Workshop felt like a joyous and peaceful <strong>family reunion<\/strong>. With this family to remind me where I\u2019ve been, I look forward to walking the Road Through together.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Isaiah Gray<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/IsaiahGrayBlog.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2372225 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/IsaiahGrayBlog.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>The 2018 Winter Workshop\u2019s theme, \u201cThe Road Through,\u201d was probably the grittiest road I\u2019ve traveled at a workshop as of yet. Looking back, and hearing the roads that each of my friends and their stories have been walking on, it became evident to me that every student came from a different end of the forest, and\u2014if only for this brief week\u2014<strong>the paths we walked intersected<\/strong>, often all meeting in the middle in a break in the branches above.<\/p>\n<p>This union of each of the student\u2019s humanity made the entire conference feel \u201calive\u201d\u2014though, maybe in a non-traditional sense. It was a somber event. Even though there were a million laughs, worlds explored, plots developed, and characters taken to a safe place to be developed, not a moment of the conference was a wasted opportunity to spur on the growth of each student as an author, and as a human. More applicably than ever, the speakers, conversation amongst each other, and message of the teaching asked us to capture the humanity within ourselves. It required us acknowledging that to continue to write new wonder in our stories, <strong>we must allow ourselves to grow<\/strong>, change, and see things in the new light that awakens on the other side of the trees, past the hills, valleys, hobbling out into its blinding light on sore ankles. We, as humans, are alive, and always growing into new stages of our life. We were challenged to come to terms with the distance\u00a0<em>we<\/em>\u00a0have walked, not just our stories\u2014<strong>looking back in order to move forward<\/strong> along the road through.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Jacqueline Oka<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_2372222\" style=\"width: 274px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/FbAvvie.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2372222\" class=\"wp-image-2372222 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/FbAvvie.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2372222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In lieu of a photo, Jacqueline requested that we feature a sketch of Jacqueline done by a close friend.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On New Year\u2019s Eve, Mr. S. gave an excellent talk on the use of tertiary emotions and the depth they can bring to a character. For some situations, the consequences of an event have not yet hit home enough for a character to express their mental turmoil directly. Instead, they must process it through <strong>a series of other feelings<\/strong>, the core reason very rarely on immediate display.<\/p>\n<p>This concept is one that has fascinated me for a long time, starting with the observation as an early writer that <strong>there are a multitude of ways to cry<\/strong>; weeping, sobbing, and bawling all carry vastly different connotations, but are often used interchangeably within mediocre prose. This inaccurate equivalence has never sat well with me, and Mr. S. helped to pinpoint why: reaching that breaking point of actually shedding tears often has a build-up to it that cycles through a wide range of reactions before finally achieving salinity. If these precursors are not first explored, it\u2019s no wonder that poor prose tries to combine the soft defeat of weeping with the uncontrollable nature of a sob.<\/p>\n<p>Although the phrase was never directly mentioned, Mr. S.\u2019s talk struck me as a literary\u00a0explanation for the Five Stages of Grief. <strong>Most people have endured loss or sorrow in some regard<\/strong>, making the concept of delayed \u201ccore\u201d emotions an immediately familiar one. As Mr. S. succinctly put it, \u201cPeople have subtext.\u201d As Yoda more verbosely put it, \u201cFear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This progression of slowly-developing emotions should be implemented for your character\u2019s reactions to have realism and depth. They bring <strong>a human element to difficult feelings<\/strong>, using subconscious but recognizable patterns. As Mr. S defined it, \u201cFind the derivative and unexpected emotions; the ones connected, but not the precise ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Aidan Bender<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/AidanBenderBlog-767x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2372226 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/clearwaterpress.com\/oneyearnovel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/04\/AidanBenderBlog-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>This workshop struggled.<\/p>\n<p>Struggled.<\/p>\n<p>We aren\u2019t children anymore.

I stood in silence for the first twenty minutes after I arrived watching Garrett scribble in his notebook.<\/p>\n<p>Silence.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. S. opened the week with a short explanation of the theme. There was no big reveal or complex explanation. \u201cThe road through is Mirkwood,\u201d I remember him saying. A dark place, a hard place. I knew that feeling. I&#8230; had that feeling. <strong>Life is a road through Mirkwood.<\/strong> It tantalizes us with temptations, bites at us with snares.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t share my road at workshop. I was empty. Other people, however, were not. They privileged me with the chance to walk on their roads, even for a short distance: listening in a quiet corner, their words and their tears and their life crashing into mine as I sat with nothing to give in return but silent empathy.<\/p>\n<p>My mentor session with Mr. S. became less of him saying \u201chere\u2019s what I think your writing could use\u201d and more of the two of us simply . . . talking. About life. Writing. The Road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I didn\u2019t know that I needed that.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of this.<\/p>\n<p>Although to be honest, I left workshop the way I came. Empty. At the same time, however, I also left with a tiny, tiny part of me full. Very, very full. Full of the tears of other people, full of the wonders of other people, full of the roads of other people.<\/p>\n<p>Their roads aren\u2019t over.

The room is filled with people who know me, who have prayed over me as I\u2019ve wept and who I\u2019ve laughed with until my stomach hurt. People who love the Lord and love to write and love each other. And as I look at each of their faces, I realize <strong>how lucky I am to begin and end every year with them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0midnight\u00a0approaches, someone turns off the lights and we all turn to the projector displaying the giant digital clock.
