Blog #3 Shitty First Drafts

          I enjoyed reading "Shitty First Drafts" by Anne Lamott and found how she explains that everyone's first drafts are shitty. She also went on to mention that writing horrible first drafts is part of being a writer and that when you write your first draft just write what comes to mind at the time, because what you write at that time may not make any sense then but later will end up making sense. Like before writing this blog I wrote a pretty shitty first draft while riding the forty-three bus from the Eugene station to my home. I find it nice knowing that there is actual writers out there that have to go back re-write their works multiple times. I always had this preconceived idea that they always knew the right way to write their stories and it only took them once or twice to get it the exact way that they wanted it. The way her friend explains what a first, second, and third draft is to them is one of my favorite parts of this article. Finally I just found that this whole article was filled with good advice and interesting facts about writing and can't wait to put some of it to use in our writing 95 class
