Gustave Flaubert
Gustave Flaubert wrote five words per hour. Madame Bovary was written at that pace. I suppose you might say that is why it is such a good work. Although I can’t say that for sure since I haven’t read it yet (it’s on my lifetime reading list.) It’s really no wonder I’m not a good writer, My best calculation is that I write at a rate of roughly 111,600 words per hour…
