She was resolved to accept the past and move on with her life.
She knew this was going to be her year. She was feeling lucky for some reason.
Well this went in a completely different direction than I had planned!
Sometimes my bag ladies have a mind of their own ;)
For Illustration Friday's prompt: resolve

And I don’t mean the spot remover. Do you ever wonder where you get the continued motivation to write?
You are an aspiring writer with 322 rejections in your file cabinet. No one wants to publish you, but no one wants to tell you why they won't. Just, "No Thank you!"
You are an author who has had a couple books published. You've built a fan base, you've laid the groundwork for your breakout book, but the publisher won't give you the chance. But wait, they want you to write four more books exactly like the one's you've already written different state, different character names. Oy!
Goodness gracious, why bother? Buck up, little soldier, where is your resolve?
In May 1979, Margaret Thatcher became the first woman ever elected prime minister in England. Within a year, she was being touted a failure by many, including her own party. It was all about economics. But she would not be swayed from her mission. She resolved to stay the course and ride it out. Thatcher had faith in her plan and she had faith in her self. In doing so, she is considered one of the world's most influential women leaders in history. Plain and simple, she refused to give up, and she refused to give in.
"No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves." --Dwight Eisenhower
No matter what society says is right or wrong, if you believe in something be true to it. Don't back down once you've made a stand. If you feel strongly about something you have written and you know there is a place for it, then stay the course. Keep submitting, keep trying, everything has its day. Following your heart is not unprofessional, it is healthy.
Be responsible. Own your actions. You've got to depend on yourself no matter what. The things you aspire to are for you and no one can achieve them for you. Be honest, do you want someone else in the driver's seat of your life?
Most importantly, when you resolve to do something, be open-minded. While we must be true to ourselves and our missions, we must be willing to consider changing with the times. Progress is not all bad. But as writers, we know that the only way to fill our work with emotion and integrity is to pull those characteristics from within ourselves.
We are writers because we can't not be writers. To be told what to write and when to write it is difficult, at best. Our industry has set so many unspoken rules in place that it is often unclear if we should actually write. But we do. We have resolved to use our words to touch others and to give that up would be a slow and agonizing death.
So if you are a writer, write first. Once you have done what you have chosen to do, then you take the time to consider the things you must do. I'll save book marketing and promoting for another day.

Philip Davis professor of English literature at Liverpool University, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life, and editor of The Reader is fed up! This post originally appeared on Moreover.
It is probably because when I was a young beginner, trying to write about literature, I did not feel encouraged or appreciated. Those were days of high theory in literary studies: it was naïve to be interested in realism, in emotion, in the human content of literature as I was. “Nobody came,” says Thomas Hardy of the plight of his own young idealist, “because nobody does.” (more…)

Philip Davis, our favorite new blogger is back with more commentary today. Davis is professor of English literature at Liverpool University, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life, and editor of The Reader. This post originally appeared on Moreover.
Dear America,
This week someone from Education (it would be) said to me, ‘I am comfortable with my belief-systems.’ I blame you, collectively, for this. (more…)

Last week we posted a series of articles by Philip Davis, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life. Today is the final piece in the installation. To see the previous posts click here. This post originally appeared on Moreover.
In the beginning dogs, it is written, were the first creatures domesticated by human beings. And when the humans saw the difference between themselves and the dogs, they knew more about what being human meant. (This is the true Gospel of Otherness.) Then the humans, being more than their dogs, began to domesticate other animals, to lie amongst them. And so in time what became pastoral agriculture was born. (more…)

Below Philip Davis, author of Bernard Malamud: A Writer’s Life, combines science with literature to convince us to read out loud more often. To read his other blog posts click here. This piece first appeared in Moreover.
I have just launched a new M.A. course in bibliotherapy—by which I mean to ask, What help can reading provide for people? But I am not allowed to call the course “M.A. in bibliotherapy” because some of scientists at my university were not too keen on the word, accepted though it is in the States. I think they confused it with aromatherapy, when in the great words of the poet Gray, on the neglect of lowly human worth:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air. (more…)
