When it came to choosing a topic to write my education narrative about, I couldn’t decide. With a few ideas in mind, I made the decision to put them together. They correlated with each other. The way I approached the assignment was by starting from my past experiences. Writing the details I can remember, to the more present. The hard part was starting. I knew what I wanted to say and how I wanted the narrative to look but I was stuck. Reading “Shitty First Drafts” did affect my writing process. Towards the beginning of writing the draft, I was working slowly trying to make the essay perfect. After reading it, I became a little careless of what I wrote because it made me realize that it is ok to not have a good first draft.
