First Draft Reflection

This is exactly how I expected something called shitty first drafts to go. I just wrote and made minimal corrections so the writing is horrendous. We have time to revise the essay so I’m honestly not worried. I just wanted to get the words on the page. I wasn’t worried about writing perfectly so I was not stressed about the essay. It was nice just to write an essay and not have to worry about sounding incredibly smart or having perfect grammar. I tried to write similar to how the author of shitty first drafts suggests but I really just word vomited on paper. I did go back and correct my work several times because I got repetitive and wanted to add more to certain sections. I really enjoyed this exercise because I was not worried about how I originally sounded but about the ideas I put on the paper.
