From William Styron's obituary:
"...sleep until noon; read and think in bed for another hour or so; lunch with Rose around 1:30; run errands, deal with the mail, listen to music, daydream and generally ease into work until 4. Then up to the workroom to write for four hours, perfecting each paragraph until 200 or 300 words are completed; have cocktails and dinner with the family and friends at 8 or 9; and stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning, drinking and reading and smoking and listening to music."

Sounds like Thrush Place
To my regret, this is also life at the University of Toronto, 1982-86, except that the quota of 300 words per day was not consistently met.
