The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism Novelist as a Vocation by Murakami The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy by Moiya McTier
Haruki Murakami's "Novelist as a Vocation" has been inspiring for me. It's a memoir about his path as an author. I find that his discussions of topics such as writers block relevant to my technology work.
…questions in good faith, I can point you to a very deep and well written counter argument to your stance. Among his 20 or so other books, The prolific Japanese Author Haruki Murakami has written a book: Novelist as a Vocation. I encourage you to read it in whole, as my attempts to summarize will only take it out of context and butcher it. However, I will say that Haruki lays out the personal opinion that for him consistency…
…helped me finally take the plunge. This is obviously an old idea, and indeed I'm just copying a similar process to Haruki Murakami's. I definitely recommend his series of essays on being a novelist: Novelist as a Vocation (this really helped me). On to second draft now and moving from daily word count to number of chapters or paragraphs editited has helped as just a metric for pace. Doesn't mean it's quality writing,…

…of his advice is to choose pursuits where you have a natural aptitude. Otherwise, there's too much friction. People enjoy being competent. Haruki Murakami describes a similar discovery in his memoir "Novelist as a Vocation." He didn't set out knowing he had talent for writing, he discovered it through consistent practice. Only by writing his first novel did he realize he might have aptitude for it. Talent wasn't something…

村上春树的《我的职业是小说家》给了我很多启发。这是关于他作家之路的回忆录。我发现他关于“写作瓶颈”之类话题的讨论，对我的技术工作也很有借鉴意义。

……本着善意提问，我可以给你指一条论证极有深度、文笔极佳的反方观点。在写过的20多本书里，高产的日本作家村上春树写过一本叫《我的职业是小说家》的书。我建议你通读全书，因为我任何试图总结的做法都会断章取义、弄巧成拙。不过我想说的是，村上表达了个人的观点：对他而言，坚持不懈……

……帮我终于迈出了这一步。这显然不是什么新想法，实际上我只是在模仿类似村上春树的做法。我强烈推荐他关于当小说家的一系列随笔集：《我的职业是小说家》（这书对我帮助极大）。现在进入第二稿了，把指标从每日字数换成修改章节或段落的数量，作为衡量进度的指标很管用。这并不意味着文字质量有多高，……

……他的建议之一是选择你有天赋的领域去追求。否则阻力太大了。人们都喜欢体验自己能胜任的感觉。村上春树在他的回忆录《我的职业是小说家》中也描述过类似的发现。他并不是一开始就知道自己有写作天赋，而是通过日复一日的坚持练习才发现的。直到写出第一部小说，他才意识到自己或许有这方面的才能。天赋并不是什么……
