After reading âShitty First Draftsâ, my view on writing as a process has changed a little bit because it reassured me that itâs okay to mess up and try again later. Something in common that I saw with Lamottâs process and mine when it comes to writing is that when Iâm doing a rough draft for the first time I tend to just write whatever pops in my head and not really put too much thought into it, however, when I read over it and itâs not perfect to me I automatically get frustrated and either give up or write about something completely different that I feel will sound better. Steps in her process that I would like to use in future writings is like she says âtrusting the processâ as well as taking the time to actually go through my rough drafts with a colored pen and revising it to make it better instead of automatically giving up on the writing as a whole when I donât feel itâs good enough the first time around.
