Fleming, Ian Fleming

Between the release of the Sebastian Faulks update of 007 and the teaser for the upcoming "Quantum of Solace" hitting the interweb (watch it below), Bond mania seems to have taken hold. While I love Bond as much if not more than the next bachelor, the man I truly aspire to be like is his creator Ian Fleming. Apparently, the former spy's daily schedule went something like this:
1) Wake up, write 1000 words
2) Break for lunch, drink two martinis
3) Write another 1000 words
4) Two more martinis
5) Snorkeling, did I mention he lived most of his life in Jamaica?
6) Drinks with glamorous women

Not a bad little lifestyle, eh? Bond's life doesn't seem so cool now.
