Haruki Murakami, on writing:


You have to dream intentionally.

Most people dream a dream when they are asleep.

But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.

- Haruki Murakami.


Recommended reading - Mildred Pierce (1941).

 

Mildred Pierce

by James M. Cain.

Published by Vintage Crime / Black Lizard.
Paperback.
 
ISBN-10: 0679723218
ISBN-13: 978-0679723219

Description:
Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for men and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter. Out of these elements James M. Cain created a novel of acute social observation and devastating emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and suffering are never less than recognizable.
