"Shitty First Drafts"- Lamott, 26 February 2014

Lamott’s article is all the first draft to any writing whether it is a magazine article or full length novel. Any writing process begins with a really, really bad first draft she proclaims. The first draft should be all about writing down any idea or imagination on paper. She says it does not matter if it is childish or unkempt as most likely no one besides you will ever read this. It is meant to be the basis to move stuff around and eventually the final draft. To begin writing though, you must silence all the opinions or voices in your head so it just you the writer and your voice on your paper.
