wwnorton:

“I think it’s really important to go to your room and sit there. I couldn’t mean that more seriously. The amateur writer only writes when something big happens in his or her life. Unless you have a better life than I do, you would write only three or four poems a year. So you go to your room and you wait for something to happen. You do that regularly.”
