Lol so.. that a good news or bad

@@epiphoney you better improve your maths this year, that's for sure

For God's sake people's logic down here is horrible. The correct is 1.01^(365) = 37.

Agreed! 😃 Let's choose a new positive habit and stick to it! 😄

I agree ❤️👍

What about the bad people around you and making you dpressing agnornd them or face them you can arange you time but you now bad people around you face or sround that is the life bad people always exeist

Currently I'm reading Norwegian wood. Frst book ever of Murakami. And I must his writting is very addicting.

@@afsha321shaikh Good for you! The Wind Up Bird Chronicles and Kafka By The Shore are, to me, very different from Norwegian Wood. The style is Murikami for sure, but the story’s metaphysical adventures are mesmerizing. Murikami leaves you questioning what is real, and what is just our own perception of every day. Long reads for sure, but worth every page. Cheers from Chicago!

@@kgilliagorilla2761 indeed his book is worthy of every sec. Kafka on the shore is going to be my next read for sure. ❤️

I am about to read "Men without women"

@@aakashshukla2848 i was very much attracted to this one by its name and is my read list already. Do give a review after reading.✨

@Anna B yeees, they talk a lot about Scott Fitzgerald

I want to be able to read my favourite Japanese novels in Japanese, I wonder how it will differ from reading in English.

Fitzgerald is definitely one of those writers whose language enhances the reading experience. Very jazzy sentences. Great vocabulary. I once started reading This Side of Paradise and I simply couldn't stop.

@@bib3kpandey It is vastly different. Kawakami uses the multiple interpretations/ways of writing of Japanese characters/words in her writing to increase how her characters think. It's great.

Agreed! Food for thought!

Wow! Kudos to you for taking action towards your goals! I admire your resolve, and your journey is very inspiring. Keeping a habit everyday for two months is an excellent way to establish a routine. We're on your team, cheering for you! Let us know how your progress comes along!

Have you checked out The Artist's Way? It's a good creativity program kind of book. I got as far as chapter one but it got me started writing in my journal every day, at least 3 pages, and that by itself has been such a good change. I'm glad you found something that works for you--can't ask for much more!

It's been in my watch later for weeks

Then I guess the situation is pretty bad. It literally feel like falling down from top but you want to get up again but need some push, sometimes just afraid to fall back again. But staying stagnant will ruin us

Same. I know this will be imp so i am avoiding it.

My man

Yes! We've learned a lot from Haruki Murakami and have made better changes in our lives after reading his works. Thank you for your support! 😊

Same but for me it's years i buy it.

I can’t finish to reading it and planning to do it tomorrow.

you gotta

Ditto I have his Kafka on the shore But haven't read it yet

Hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Thanks so much! Hope it inspires you! 😃 Best of luck!♥

It's our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed it :)

Have you started?

Thank you for your warm support! 🙏

Thank you for watching, and glad you enjoyed it! Hope it inspires others to see a lasting result from making a small change! 😃

same thoughts!

Wikipedia defines a manuscript page, and style; 10 or 12 pt, double spaced, seems to equal about 250 words per page. So I think this quote means writing 20 pages of 250 words = 5000 words. That sounds plausible in 4 or 5 hours of work - especially if he's in a kind of meditative state while writing. Although it is a lot, unless you have a really clear plan of where the story is going. 3600 x 250 = 900k. I guess it's possible that it took 900k (of work) to get to a first draft he was happy with (i.e. writing a lot of dead end ideas that he threw out, or found better ideas later). Conventional wisdom says that a story will have a lot of scenes that get rewritten or replaced in order to have great scenes all the way through, just like a sculpture removes lots of unnecessary material. Of course, the downside of word count goals (for new writers) is that it can be tempting to waste time writing a lot of crap, just for the sake of the word count, and pretend to have made progress (which I have often done). I don't know if Murakami writes a lot of crap to reach this daily goal, but regardless, he comes out with something he is happy with at the end. I suppose we don't know if each 'page' is connected. He might write 20 different individual ideas of 250 words, and then weave them together in revision into scenes and narrative. So my comment wasn't much help at all, really.

Thank you for your warm support. 💛 We will keep working hard! 😊

Are you a swiftie????

@@ishitadwivedi726 yup ❤️😁

@@swiftie9006 sameeee!!!!💛

Thank you, so glad to hear that! :)

It's really hard to stop addictions to youtube and Netflix. How do you do it

Thank you! So glad to hear that!

You can do it never give up and never look back.

Hello, Maria! Please set small goals and keep going! Also, take it "one day at a time!" When you take even the smallest action and keep repeating it, a change will happen inside you. We believe you can do it! Remember, Peter Cat is cheering for you and is on your side! 💛💛💛

Never give up, you can do it!

How are you doing now?

Yeah you go and tell to a nobel price nominee in literature that his approach to writing is not as good as the billion literary students that didn‘t produce something worth reading their whole lives

Norwegian Wood for sure!

@@josh_miguel thank you so much for your reply 🙏😊

Dance dance dance 🤚

@@AnuRadha-tc4zb his books are motivational??

I'm pretty sure he means handwritten pages.

@@realce666 That's a lot for one day. :)

@@radaimark6548 wikipedia defines a manuscript page as 250 words, so that would equal 5000 words per day. A lot, but possible in 4 to 5 hours.

@@Ruylopez778 Thanks. :)

Kafka on the shore

@@okeekpagha2126 thankyou

I've read Hear the Wind Sing, Pinball, A Wild Sheep Chase, Dance Dance Dance, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Killing Commendatore from Murakami. I would say the last one really gripped me and even though The wind-up bird is one of his most famous ones, the commendatore had something that wouldn't let me stop thinking about it even months later. His very first work Hear the Wind Sing is also incredible. It is raw and unpolished and it was also the first book I've read from this author which immediately made me fall in love with his writing. I think reading his first and his last book would give a great introduction to Murakami's world

@@lera8577 woah I'll keep this in mind. thankyou!

@@lera8577 I think his books tend to tell the same story at different stages. So for someone just starting, I'd recommend either Kafka on the Shore or Norwegian Wood. The first is his most best explorative/weird book while the second is his most normal book. I'd recommend the first because why not go for him at the height of his 'murakami' depth, instead of going for him deliberate writing a normal books, good as it might be. I personally started with sputnik sweetheart and definitely don't regret it. But that's my journey.

It seems like a bad translation

Thank you, and sorry to hear that. We'll be sure to bring you better-narrated videos in the future!

We'll work on it & do better next time! 😊
