First draft Reflection

For this, I would like to call it my Not so Shitty First draft Reflection, though i am not the strongest of writers by any means I typically do not run into writer's block often, as even when I am not actively writing an essay or completing the assignment my mind is still thinking about the essay and ways to make it better and ways in which i could convey my point and position better. I agree that when starting to write an essay you should just start writing, however when you put just anything down on the paper it tends to get lost and you might miss your train of thought or go down a path that has led to no where. I like to have at least a general Idea of what I am planning on conveying and writing about. Also when I write I do not try to make my first draft my final draft but I like to edit and revise as I write to keep the stress off of future me as opposed to writing some mess down then coming back to a pile of well crap that I have to sift through and figure out what I was planning on saying or is the entire assignment still viable to use or just start or. So in all just writing what I think does not work for me but at least just have some sort of plan in mind and prior thought before the process begins.
