I have recently read Murakami's latest book (in English, that is), entitled Novelist as a Vocation. Like lots of readers my age, I've become a huge fan of his writing, and I also find his discipline inspiring. He has a strict daily routine that involves getting up early and exercising everyday. That having a daily routine like that is important for essentially every productive lifestyle, is clear enough to me. I think sometimes people can correlate a strict routine like that to success itself, but as someone who has a pretty strict routine-- that doesn't mean I've been a successful writer! In fact, despite a constant effort to write more for years now, I have had little output. But after reading Murakami's book I've actually increased my writing by quite a bit.
