I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Don't see how he would have the time.

He was putting out about 13 books per week while being high and/or drunk 24/7.

He probably doesn't remember most of his books from that era.

He's said flatly that he doesn't remember writing Cujo. I bet that wasn't the only one that's a bit foggy, too.

Just the fact he never went to ghostwriters when so many of his contemporaries did really says a lot about his work ethic.

Yeah, he grew up really poor, so I think not working is something he can't understand, even though he has more money than he'll ever need and lives fairly modestly.

When big name writers go to ghost writers it’s always an incredibly poorly kept secret. Patterson, Clancy, etc, people always find out exactly who wrote what book in short order.

Hasn't he said that when he was a struggling writer he forced himself to sit down and write 4-6 hours a day and maybe come up with 15-20 minutes of material. Then as he got more and more famous that 15-20 minutes grew and grew, in part because of constantly refining his skill but mostly because the bar constantly lowers related to the rise of fame.

I mean yeah but it's not at all normal to even be able to write for several hours each day, no matter if it's 100% poo poo. Most writers would have blood coming out of their eyes and ears after two or three hours, tops.

He said he doesn't even remember writing Cujo. So much of his work is the product of a giant drug binge.

Ian Fleming did, because he actually scheduled his writing during his annual vacation in Jamaica. He would wake up and have a morning swim and breakfast, write for 3 hours, take a break at noon for lunch, a swim or walk down the beach, a nap, etc., then get back to work at 5:00 PM for another 1 or 2 hours proofreading what he wrote in the morning. He wrote the book from start to finish off the top of his head with whatever research and planning he had done the previous year, and when he was finished after about 6-8 weeks of work he would head back to England and return to his job at the newspaper while his editors looked everything over and corrections were made over the rest of the year. He would do research for the next book, then by the time it was ready for publication he would already be back in Jamaica and writing the next one.

This schedule let him put out a book a year from 1952 until his death in 1964. It helped that he was actually good with words and had a single-minded dedication to getting his work done as long as he enjoyed doing it.

Also helped that he probably had some pretty sweet references/inspiration from his step-cousin (an actual real life James Bond - not to mention one of the great actors of his generation).

And amphetamines were sold over the counter back then.

If you’re reading a James Bond book and he takes the cotton out of an inhaler and eats it, that’s why. Benzedrine inhalers were a Thing in the 50’s.

He doesn't ever do that from what I remember, but he does pop Benzedrine pills repeatedly (including mixing them with champagne at one point) and Le Chiffre is constantly using an inhaler in Casino Royale. This is in between talking about how one toke of marijuana will make you addicted and turn you into a maniac.

Which is funny since Fleming's house in Jamaica was used as inspiration for the villain's estate in a few of the Bond movies.

Fleming took inspiration from a lot of people for his books. There's no "Real James Bond" because he's an amalgamation of knowledge he had of people like Dusko Popov and his own brother Peter, plus a lot of his own background and quirks (like the obsession with scrambled eggs and the custom cigarettes he smokes). M was inspired by people like Admiral John Godfrey, Jacques Cousteau, and his own domineering mother. Tracy, the woman who Bond marries briefly before her murder, was based on Muriel Wright, one of his many girlfriends who died in the Blitz and traumatized him.
