2/27 Shitty First Drafts
Shitty First Drafts
by Ann Lamott capitalizes on the importance and value to writing a first
draft, most usually shitty ones. Initially, the author describes the importance
of having the will to write and overcoming any mental obstacles we may present
ourselves with. With our will, she explains, we must allow ourselves to write
something we hate now but can clean up later. She makes a pretty dope nod to
George Orwell’s 1984 in relation to
the voices in our head when writing our first drafts. Overall Lamott explains
the universal problem we all face when writing first drafts and advises us to
push through them and use some techniques to make it easier.
