Are there any articles like this, but about some author instead?

It's about Kubrick's daily routine and habits. This type of stuff is fascinating to me. I'd love to read first-hand accounts of how famous writers spend their time.

Most biographies have things like this: Benjamin Franklin's is an example.

Machiavelli's letter to Francesco Vettori. It's fucking magnificent. I just love when he returns back to his study and gets changed for the event:
"When evening comes, I return home and enter my study; on the threshold I take off my workday clothes, covered with mud and dirt, and put on the garments of court and palace. Fitted out appropriately, I step inside the venerable courts of the ancients, where, solicitously received by them, I nourish myself on that food that alone is mine and for which I was born; where I am unashamed to converse with them and to question them about the motives for their actions, and they, out of their human kindness, answer me. And for four hours at a time I feel no boredom, I forget all my troubles, I do not dread poverty, and I am not terrified by death." http://www2.idehist.uu.se/distans/ilmh/Ren/flor-mach-lett-vettori.htm

That's been discredited by other Thompson biographers.
