The Freak




I just read a blurb about Voltaire in Daily Rituals.  He was a super productive writer who followed strict daily schedules and always met or exceeded his daily writing goals. We can all learn a lot from Voltaire.  Or, perhaps, we can ignore Voltaire completely, recognizing that he was probably a privileged freak show off who had no friends.  Down with Voltaire.
