"Shitty First Draft" Response

"Shitty First Draft" by Anne Lamott is a witty selection from her book Bird by Bird.  I personally loved this selection because there are many times that when you go to write a paper, you get so frusturated becasue you feel you will never get the perfect paper that you hoped for.  But Lamott explains that even the best authors, not even one of them, will sit down and write a perfect first draft.  She describes the first draft to be "the child's draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later."  I love this because it is so true, and something that should be applied to every paper.
