Write like hell for 10 hours a day for 10 years. Study the masters. Earn enough money to survive. Then, if you are lucky, you might have a shot.
Writing is easy. Living off your writing—now that's bloody hard..

Is she wearing a suite and tie?

Short Cuts is amazing... I also recommend reading "Cathedral" - arguably the greatest epiphany short story ever written...
-
Thank you so much! I like Ray Carver's short novel " Where I'm calling from".

For me, the kind of fiction which just reaches out, grabs you, and pulls you right into a scene and makes you feel the reality of it is the best kind. Reading any of Ray Carver's short stories, you feel the scene and feel what the characters feel. He never penned a 500 page masterpiece of the type we normally consider essential to great literature, but in 15 pages he created something perfect. Truly, my favourite writer.

I read Carver's stories after watching Short Cuts the movie. The thing that struck me was a feeling of waste - that I had up that time wasted my life by *not* reading his stories until that time! As a younger writer as I was, I knew I wanted to try and write with such a deftness, economy, beauty (and of course I never will).
