After reading Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Draft” my way of written the first drafts is the opposite. I would put a lot of time and effort into developing a first draft. The process takes a lot of time and can be stressful. After reading “Shitty First Drafts” Lamott’s have changed my approach when written my first draft. Lamott points out our first draft does not have to be accurate or professional. Lamott encourages us to write down the first thing that comes to mind in our first drafts. At first, I was a little hesitant with following this concept for my first draft. However, this technique does have great benefits when creating a draft. For example, Lamott’s method allows us to write down all ideas good or bad to formulate a shitty first draft. From that drafts, you can work on creating a better draft, and you will have a variety of ideas to work with. I agree with this concept and from this point on I will implement this technique when written my first draft. I believe this will give me more ideas and direction in my first draft and reduce the stress of trying to create a good first draft.
