>When a dilettante has done what lies within his capacity to complete a work, he usually makes the excuse that of course it's as yet unfinished. Clearly, it never can be finished because it was never properly started. The master of his art, by means of a few strokes, produces a finished work; fully worked out or not, it is already completed. The cleverest kind of dilettante gropes about in uncertainties and, as the work proceeds, the dubiousness of the initial structure becomes more and more apparent. Right at the end the faulty nature of the work, impossible to correct, shows up clearly and so, of course, the work can never be finished.

>Der geschickteste Dilettant tastet im Ungewissen, und wie die Ausführung wächst, kommt die Unsicherheit der ersten Anlage immer mehr zum Vorschein. Ganz zuletzt entdeckt sich erst das Verfehlte, das nicht auszugleichen ist, und so kann das Werk freilich nicht fertig werden.

Couple of hours a day for a year, then reread and see how bad it is and revise it for a couple of hours a day for a few years.
