My Shitty First Draft

My First draft for this research project was very easy to write as I knew it was just a first draft and that I would be able to look back on it as well as have others review it. It really took the pressure off knowing I didn't nee to have a good piece to start off with and working from there. It gave me the freedom to just write and not really think about it like that article that we read informed us. The fact that it was only one of three gives ease to what you say in the first one as you know it could stay or go it, doesn't really matter as long as you are putting down words and sentences on the subject at hand. I know others feel the same, writing can be hard and stressful but having the first draft just really being a jot down session kind of essay allows you to get everything out and work from that to make a compelling piece that you will at one point be proud of. I hope by doing this I am able to make a very good essay that I will be really proud of. Normally I only do one draft and just kind of fix and edit it, but by doing three different drafts I really hope it will improve my writing and make a very good piece that I can share.

  1. I agree with you, this first draft had very little pressure. I found it a lot easier to write by just getting the ideas out. I also am interested to see if the end result is a better piece of writing than what I normally would produce with 1 draft. If it does come out better, I may find myself doing this more often, allowing a shitty draft and the fully revising it.
