Georges Joseph Christian Simenon was a prolific Belgian author with nearly 500 novels and short works under his belt. He was the creator of the famous detective character ‘Jules Maigret’. Known for writing very fast, he used to complete his novels within about a week and a half! He was one of the highest-paid writers in the mid-twentieth century. His first novel ‘Au Pont des Arches’ was published when he was just in his late teens. He wrote this novel in just ten days, and thus, he laid the foundation for his rapid production of books. It is widely known that he used to type at least 80 pages in a day in order to quickly complete his books. As an author, he also used a wide variety of pen names, including ‘Christian Brulls’ and ‘Gom Gut’. One of his commercial novels was written in exactly 25 hours, purely with an intention of training himself for bigger works.
