My profession is as a novelist, a free soul, and a man who controls thousands of horses and horses

• Everyone benefits, and the opening volume is beneficial, which is a detailed and typical summary of the novelist's path of thinking growth.
• The book was read on February 6, 2022 and took 1 hour and 40 minutes. The surrounding environment during the reading process: the sound of the TV set turning on, the sound of the mother's mobile phone next to me shaking, it was very noisy; but I still finished watching it, ah, God, thank yourself.
• It seems that you can see murakami's state when he writes in the book, and it is also like a dialogue with Murakami's soul.
• Summary of the sense of hindsight: As a special profession, although there is no competition, only with their own dead, anyone can write two sentences of the profession, but I have to say that Murakami describes such articles, the words are meticulous and comprehensive, and the precise expression of the subtle portrait is very clever.

• The author also invested all his life before becoming a novelist, and his spirit is worth learning, and if he hates part-time work, he must resist the hardships of being an entrepreneur. Living frugally, just to survive, but this kind of life is good enough in my personal opinion (to work for myself).
• Murakami was at the hardest time in his business, facing the risk that if he didn't repay the loan the next day, the bank would refuse to accept it, but he and his wife were lucky to pick up a banknote (which happened to be the amount needed to repay the loan) when they walked in the evening.
• Although it is very difficult at the moment, this experience may bear fruit in the future. Dedicate it to yourself at this time.
• Murakami saw that he was about to face the risk of losing his credits again and not being able to finish his job, so he explained to the tutor: Because he was married and working every day, it was difficult to rush to school to attend class... Only to cause insufficient attendance days and lose credits; after the tutor listened, he ran to the small shop he opened to check in person, empathized with him, and let Murakami get the credits. Things are solved one by one, and they will always be handled properly.
• The author lamented: In the twenties, in the difficult years of entrepreneurship, it is always impossible not to calm down (the same feeling, deep empathy); everyone's twenties are happier than me (no, the same rush and anxiety). I read whenever I have time (it's nice); reading and listening to music is always a great joy for me (envy, when I read, I also have joy and a sense of purity that washes my soul). There is a saying that reading is talking to oneself, and this is not false at all.
• "A thought suddenly arises without warning or without any basis", ah, it turns out that Murakami is like this, without warning to start the path of the novelist, the call of the soul. It's like apocalypse... Something suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the position of everything changed, and this feeling of being possessed by a novelist like a stirring spirit was so happy that he was. I believe the author also still remembers, hitting the stirring sense of the heart.

• Murakami was keen to read nineteenth-century Russian novels and plain english novels, and it's no wonder he also worked as a translator.
• The author used an English typewriter to write the beginning of the novel in English, in which he had to use a simple language as much as possible, and then directly translated into the number of Japanese novels, which can also be described as a strange novelist (bitter smile), and everyone has his unique sense of fatalism.
• Writing novels in the languages of other countries is also a novel way of thinking.
• "I've never felt like writing is hard work, and I've never been so lucky to be unable to write a novel. Rather, if you are not happy, the meaning of writing a novel does not exist from the beginning. Novels should be written like a river and gush like a spring. "Write happily, lucky as you are."
• Of course, there is a chapter in the article about the psychological journey of winning and not winning awards, and I personally feel that there are too many mixed feelings that I can't read slowly, so I selectively read quickly.
• "When you do something, do you feel happy". This applies to all things. It's worth careful consideration.
• "Only when I think about it will I decide, well, write it, and lift the pen to start." Otherwise, I will generally do the work of translating from English to Japan. Translation is basically a technical job and has nothing to do with the desire for expression." Not getting bored of writing these words is the moment to pick up the pen. Murakami is sincerely happy about writing novels. What a lucky and happy person!

• Elements of a novelist: 1. Read more. Whether it is a good book or a bad book, it is always good to read more, and it is always good to pass the brain; 2, observe, neutrally look at things. Standing in God's perspective, peacefully expounding the context of each person and everything, the conclusion of right and wrong, human nature is subjective, there will be bias, subjective judgment is not necessarily right, bias will bring paranoia to novel writing; people have different colors, regardless of right and wrong, can become the role of the pen; "if the people and things around you are refreshingly and sharply analyzed, it is more suitable to be a critic, not suitable to be a novelist", "try to collect and accumulate materials as originally". Read and get to know a large number of people, the elements of writing novels.
• "Once the really important things are put in the mind, they cannot be forgotten so easily." This is a discussion about whether or not to record the current inspiration when it is fleeting, and it needs to be tried and practiced.
• The author compares the thought process at the time of writing to an archive, where the imagination in the brain is stored in various drawers and taken at any time. If there is no archive in the filing cabinet, it can only rely on imagination to come in handy. (Yes, you'll write novels that show you can connect with people who live on other planets, really!) ）。 Haha, Murakami humor.
• Murakami wrote more purely, leaving Japan to live in a foreign country, and writing novels as he pleased in a quiet place without noise. Very good. Leaving aside the small shop, Murakami's determination to be unrelenting can also be regarded as Murakami's loyalty to writing.
• "What we can take into the grave is, in the final analysis, only evidence of the satisfaction of our dedication and the best we can. Otherwise, pour all your abilities and talents into writing. Excuse indecent, don't open up for yourself. Don't grumble. Don't make excuses. "It's good to see Murakami's devotion to writing. If I had been a fiction writer, I would not have accepted the manuscript, because that would be the only proof of my free soul.
• "If only the reader could feel from my work a deep warmth like a hot spring bath...". This is the magic of the story, and it is also the comfort of being a novelist.

• If it were me, would I have the stamina? Novelist: A thorough personal undertaking in the Chamber of Secrets, a long work on the other side, from nothing to everything, all on your own. One man's battle, one man's thousands of horses.
• "Sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for the family to sleep, in the middle of the night alone, facing the four-hundred-word manuscript paper, the beginning of the novel 'Norwegian Forest' is written at a small table in a café all over Greece, on a ferry seat, in the waiting room of an airport, in the shade of a park, on a writing desk in a cheap hotel." It's very graphic and full of scenes.
• "The working class who insist on taking the train to work every day, the physical exertion is called great", compared with insisting on running every day, the pain of work commuting is the sadness of life, full of irony.
• The form of writer writing is not limited, nor is it seen by the eyes of the world to change the mode of writing, and do a good job of ferrying his soul is the road of free writing.
• Both Murakami and Wang Xiaobo are convinced of their own path of writing, and they are really cute and respectable writers.
• When it comes to writing or life, everyone can find their own theory and move forward.
• The purpose of learning a foreign language is to read the original novel, and this reason is more suitable for mobilizing the enthusiasm for learning a foreign language. For example, the three-body, how fortunate, the three-body is the original version of the Chinese.
• No matter what kind of era you encounter, what kind of society you are in, imagination has great significance.

• Dostoevsky's "The Devil", I want to read it, what kind of absurd and bizarre characters are in it? A book that Murakami praised.
• Writing novels without sticking to any age or character, and arranging characters at will, it is really exciting to think about writing.
• Do what you enjoy the most, what you want to do the most, so that even if the book doesn't sell well, you can feel at ease: Well, it doesn't matter, at least I have enjoyed it myself. This positive way of thinking is also quite good.
• In order to write a long novel with meticulous care, Murakami refused many money and honor temptations, and transferred the center of life to a foreign country, which is really a writer who is in the soul and admires.
• "It's always a wonderful thing to be able to hold a certain goal high as a flag. Don't ask about age, don't ask where you are. "Still envious, moving towards the goal, the people who shine are full of free souls who are not living in vain."
• Murakami's last chapter specifically mentions a literary confidant who can talk deeply and understand each other. It is a blessing to meet a confidant in life.
• From defining the novelist, the origin of writing, conceiving the elements of the novel, injecting the soul of the novel, talking to the reader, talking to the world, and talking to himself, the book constructs a novelist's psychological journey; it seems that you can see murakami's dialogue with self-consciousness every day and night, the fountain of literary thoughts, and the scene of writing a book, that is, every day that luminous does not know himself, but makes him feel so happy every day; as a novelist, this book is more like his book of happy daily life, making people yearn for the day!
