“Shitty First Drafts” - Omar Urbina

     The article contributed to my realization that it is acceptable for a first draft to be mediocre or even “shitty”. The author describes her own experiences having to deal with the preassure of creating a great piece of writing. This is relatable because everyone can think of their own personal encounters witht he beginning processes of writing. What stood out from this article was how the author accepted that her first draft was going to be horrendous and how it was acceptable because nobody was going to read it. This article eased my stress about the beginning process of writing and also helped me realize how many drafts it takes for my writing to be polished.
