完全透視偉大創作者的日常生活與時間分配！ 村上春樹的小說是怎麼寫出來的？ 畢卡索、梵谷的名畫是怎麼畫出來的？ 莫札特、貝多芬的交響樂是怎麼譜出來的？ 偉大的心靈究竟如何規劃時間，創作不懈？ 他們真的是天才嗎？還是具有與眾不同的人格特質？ 161位古往今來最偉大的哲學家、作家、作曲家、建築師和藝術家…… 在《創作者的日常生活》裡，作者柯瑞一一敘述他們的日常工作習慣， 激勵你建立自己的創作儀式！ 柯瑞書寫過去四百年來161位偉大創作者每天怎麼分配時間，運用自己最大的能力，如何安排他們的作息，發揮創意和生產力。藉著撰寫這些人物日常生活平凡的細節，提供新鮮的角度，來看他們的個性和生涯，描繪出這些藝術家在習慣驅使之下有趣而細微的肖像。 創作者怎麼才能一邊在賺錢餬口之餘，又能創作出意義深遠的作品？舒適和創造力是否互不相容，抑或正好相反：日常生活的基本舒適是持久創意工作的先決條件？本書提供各種例子，說明形形色色各種聰穎而成功的人物如何面對這許多現實的挑戰，說明了許多宏大的創作憧憬如何轉譯為每日的工作；人的工作習慣如何影響工作本身，反之亦然。 知名創作者的工作習慣 例如： 只要我能讓每一個新作品都比上一個有進步，讀者就不會在乎我究竟是採取什麼樣的生活型態。身為小說家，那豈不才是我的義務和我的第一優先嗎？ 村上春樹在寫小說時，總是凌晨四點起床，連續工作五、六個小時。下午他則用來跑步或游泳（或者兩者都做）、辦雜事、閱讀、聽音樂，晚上九點上床。 你們今早來的時候先按了門鈴，但你們得等電梯，在你們來到我門口之前，已經過了幾秒鐘。而在等你們的這段時間，我就在思索我要寫的新作。 就算沒有自由的時間，安伯托‧艾可說他依舊能在一天當中的「隙縫」中，發揮生產力。 當我在寫書或故事時，總是一見黎明就立刻振筆疾書。那時沒有任何人會打擾你，天氣可能或涼或冷，而你開始工作，邊寫就邊暖和起來。 海明威成年之後，天天都很早起，早上五點半或六點，曙光一現就醒來，即使前一晚爛醉如泥依舊如此。 時間很短，我的精力有限，辦公室是一團混亂，公寓則喧鬧不休。要是我們不能輕易得到愉快的生活，那麼就只好想些巧妙的辦法迂迴前進。 1908年，卡夫卡在布拉格的勞工意外保險局找到一份差事，……但卡夫卡依舊覺得自己受到束縛。當時他和家人住在一間狹窄的公寓裡，唯有在深夜大家都熟睡之後，才能專心寫作。 規範熱情最可靠的方
