“Shitty First Drafts”

Reading “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott I noticed it took her 3 steps to write one piece because all good writers write them. Step one write a first draft pouring your mind that was extremely long like how a child would write. Step two was going back and briefly going through it with a colored pen to fix anything that didn’t belong or ways on how she can improve which ended up her writing her second draft. Lastly was going over it just one more time to fix any little errors she could’ve missed and then publish it. I think these steps are great ways in becoming a good writer because it takes practice you can fail many times but you will eventually create a good piece.

My views on my writing have changed a bit I haven’t really used her method in writing 3 drafts. I was advised to but I never took it into consideration. Many can say it’s a waste of time but if we think about it, it can be very useful if you want to give in a good piece of work. Using a highlighter or a colored pen will be something I will be using from now on its efficient.
