Quote

“Now, practically even better news than that of short assignments is the idea of
shitty first drafts. All good writers write them. This is how they end up with good
second drafts and terrific third drafts.”

Response

Writing a short assignment helps you to create a better draft for second and third. This is something that I use to do back in high school writing short first paragraph and do second and third one. This way I get to come back to first draft and add more content and make it more strong paragraph.

“People tend to look at successful writers who are getting their books published and maybe even doing well financially and think that they sit down at their desks every morning feeling like a million dollars, But this is just the fantasy of the uninitiated.”

Response 

I strongly agree with this quote because people tend to sit and think how writer is rich and their luxury lifestyle and how they doing well financially and they want to do the same as writer. However people don’t think about how the writer got there what did he/she had to do to get there and the amount of work they put in. You have to be enthusiastic about writing and have to fall in love with it you can’t just become a writer just to earn money.

“First I’d go to a restaurant several times with a few opinionated, articulate friends in tow. I’d sit there writing down everything anyone said that was at all interesting or funny. Then on the following Monday I’d sit down at my desk with my notes and try to write the review.”

Response 

As a writer you need to listen to people opinions. This helps you to develop your writing strategy and gives you more knowledge about your draft. Peoples opinion can have huge impact on the draft and help you validate your point.

“I’d write a lead paragraph that was a whole page, even though the entire review could only be three pages long, and then I’d start writing up descriptions of the food, one dish at a time.”

Changing up your writing style can help you to develop more idea. This style can grab your readers attention quickly and will make your draft look more interesting.
