Shitty First Draft Reflection

Lamott’s description of the average persons perception about writers is far from my mind. I don’t believe writers can express their creativity and art by simply sitting at their desk along with a side of coffee. Words are far more meaningful than that. I'm not much of a writer hence my uncertainty in taking this course however out of all the papers i've had to write to professors, i've learned your first drafts are only ideas waiting to be ellaborated. So many mistakes are made including grammatical errors and not to mention the many face expressions made while reading through. Although Lamott mentions the first draft as rather personal meaning the writer can only have access to it, I believe in sharing feedback and accepting
criticism. It's how the writer accepts and takes forth this review that'll develop the writing process.
