"It takes an awful lot of time for……" — James Dickey

It takes an awful lot of time for me to write anything.… - James Dickey
"It takes an awful lot of time for me to write anything. I have endless drafts, one after another; and I try out 50, 75, or a hundred variations on a single line sometimes. I work on the process of refining low-grade ore. I get maybe a couple of nu ggets of gold out of 50 tons of dirt. It is tough for me. No, I am not inspired."
