Maybe not ALL of us, Roger. I want to know how you do it.  Because I am curious. Meow.

Annie, your quote left out the rest of the sentence, which changes my point dramatically. The sentence says "I just meant to say that we all have heard enough about the work habits of various poets
to realize that there's not just one way to go about it." You left out the part in italics.
There's nothing interesting or instructive about my methods. I sit down at my computer and try to think of something, and sometimes I do. Then I try to keep writing until I have something, then I read it over looking for ways to improve it, and at some point I decide it is done.
Needless to say, there is usually a great quantity of peyote involved, and sometimes I need to bounce up and down from the end of a long bungee cord, but in this regard I am sure I'm pretty much like everyone else.
