Shitty First Drafts

This piece allowed me to realize that I am not the only individual holding ridiculously high expectations for a first draft. Expectations that are often never met. I now see how unnecessary all of this worry over a first draft was. Ultimately I would have been better off spitting out ideas onto a sheet of paper, rather than wasting time worrying about how to start the piece perfectly. In the future I plan to disregard the expectations I may have set in the past and allow for my first draft to be a mess or even a disaster because it will lead to something better.

  1. Hi Darby, yes, you're right. For a first draft, expectations should be pretty low. Hope you keep picking up interesting knowledge from our readings.
