A reponse to Anne Lamott's Essay "Shitty First Drafts"

In Anne Lamott's "Shitty First Drafts", she explains how all writers even the best have trouble with their writing. That is why almost all writers go through the three draft process. Like Anne Lamott I believe the first draft is meant to be the draft that you use to brainstorm. Everything and anything that comes to mind is put down on paper, in no particular order and it doesn't make sense to anyone but you. However, that is what the second draft is for, to be able to put the best ideas together and to make the paper as accurately as you possibly can. To finally be able to write the final draft perfectly. Or as Anne Lamott says " the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to make see if its loose or cramped or decayed, or even God help us, healthy". I believe my writing process is quick, sloppy, long and tedious. The first draft I do it quick and sloppy, I'm not really trying to make what I am writing down clear, accurate and to the point. However, as I progress to the second draft it begins to be long and tedious, because I begin to add more and more ideas to the things I already have written down. For the final draft I begin to feel anxious because I know that this is the final paper and no matter what it has to be as perfect as possible. That I have to make sure that every comma, quotation mark, and period are where they belong. Although this process always tends to work, I do not like feeling nervous or anxious, or even scared that I might not be able to finish a paper and have it be perfect. I strongly believe that blogging my writing would be just like me writing it down a piece paper. My writing will improve because I will be practicing more and more on my writing techniques, but in some ways my writing will stay the same because everyone has their own unique way to write and that's something that could never be changed.
