Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott from Bird byBird

The article "Shitty First Drafts" talks about the importance of the writing process and the product of your writing. The quote "the fantasy of the uninitiated" (Lamott, par 1)  means that it doesn't really matter the quality it means the quantity of your first rough draft is going to be more than likely longer then your final paper because every thought you may receive should go towards your first rough draft and then by the third draft it should be nearly perfect. Writing your first draft is more of a process then a product because the process is fixable and easier to fix than just a product because you have to go threw a process for everything that is ow a shitty first draft then become a good second draft and a third draft become terrific.
