While reading “Shitty First Draft” by Anne Lamott, she exhibits several steps she uses when she’s uses when writing a rough draft. As I read it the article, I found my view on writing remains the same. Even thought Lamott and I can relate on the panicking, I as a writer find it easier to bounce my ideas off of another person such as a teacher or my mom its easier to verbalize what I’m trying to say rather than struggle with overthinking, because what I think doesn’t always equate to what I write. I have extremely bad writers block. After reading the essay, a takeaway is to just say what i have to say and if it doesn’t make sense polish it where it’s understandable to the reader.
