The author of this article Anne Lamott who was previously a restaurant critic and a novel writer believes how helpful first drafts can be. She explains how that first draft is meant to be a mess, she even refers to them as the “child’s draft”. Anne would stress over writing an article about a restaurant. She would always start out by visiting the restaurant with some friends and then she would take those notes and just “pour them all out into a pile on her first draft.” Then she would “come back the next day to find that some of that mess makes sense so she pulls out bits and parts that she can use in the article. Anne then adds a little more to it, then rereads it, and then sends it out to be printed.” After reading this you can easily recognize how some writers will sometimes have trouble writing but the important thing is to keep an open mind and have a good sense of self constructive criticism when working on your second and third draft. After working in your writing and expanding your boundaries, you’ll be surprised to what your final work came out to be and you might be contempt with it.
