Chang Kueishing, who still teaches at a middle school, sits down to write as soon as he gets home every day at seven. He writes until nine before finally allowing himself to eat dinner. During summer vacations, in the steam-room that is the Taipei Basin, he spends all day at his desk, cranking out 60,000 words a month.
