At least in my case, a very simple, regular, happy life makes for better writing.
The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.
My personal writing philosophy is to try and write better every day.
It's hard to draw clear lines between writing and life and I don't think it is necessary to or necessarily good to.

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Whatever I'm writing comes organically out of my life.
Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.
