In Lamott’s essay Shitty First Drafts, she explains how writing bad first drafts is natural, and the technique in her essay shows us how your first draft is supposed to not make sense but rather just to get your thoughts onto paper. In the beginning of her essay she has sporadic thoughts, though towards the end of her essay, her thoughts become more concise. I believe that Lamott provides some good examples and reasons as to why someone should not worry too much about their first draft, but rather just to get your thoughts onto the paper. I believe that this is a good idea in order to start your paper, so that you at least have something started on your paper and begin to organize your thoughts within your paper. When you begin to write any and all thoughts down onto paper, then you can start to weed out the irrelevant points, and instead concentrate on those that are your strongest arguments.
