Sir Ian Fleming had the best work schedule you could ask for while writing James Bond

|
By Mark McKee Verified
| The Manual Verified
As a writer, I tend to work from home a lot. Or I work on the road. I do a fair amount of travel and write about my exploits as I have them.

I was about to cut on the cap. What the Hell is a cap?

What was your first job as a journalist?

repurposing 20,000 menswear articles into 2,000 good menswear articles. Not one carrying my name.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

It ages me to answer this honestly, but yes, I have.

How is social media changing news?

Everything is too fast. Not enough time to be accurate. Being first is more important than being true
