Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott

In “Shitty First Drafts” Anne Lamott explains how every writer goes through some type of issue before they can successfully write something. No matter how good or how much money they have, there is an obstacle that stands in the way of just sitting down and writing an amazing paper. There is a starting point for everything, rarely anything just comes natural. It may take several days, weeks, or even months to get what you really want. As long as you keep working at it, everything will turn out great. Everyone’s motivation is different, therefore everyone has different techniques of accomplishing things. Even though that is true, you must start with the shitty first drafts. First drafts are not meant to be perfect. They are the base of a perfect paper. The first draft gives insight to the rest of your ideas. People fail to realize how important first drafts are and tend to overlook them. There is so much information and or motivation that comes from your first draft. When writing a first draft you write without thinking. You let the words flow out, so your ideas just be everywhere. Once you are finished with the first draft and read over it, then you will see the uniqueness of it.
