Shitty First Drafts


In the paper "Shitty First Drafts" by Ann Lamott the author discusses how people tend to think that writers always have these great papers just spew out of their minds and onto paper when that isn't true.  She talks about how most writers  begin  by writing whatever comes to mind and throw it all together for the first draft as if a child would make it because no one else would see it.  Writers would then take out all the stuff that didn't make sense and didn't work and keep the stuff that they  thought was good.  Lamott also brings up how she has trouble writing sometimes because there are voices in her head nagging her so she cant focus, she then elaborates on how to get rid of these  pesky voices so that you may continue your shitty draft.
