Writing the first draft is more about the process than the product. You are writing for it but you must put the first draft through the process of being read over and edited. Lamott said that the first draft is the childs draft. You let out your thoughts on to paper and see how to orgainzied them through a process. Once you have edited and added to it. Following a “lead” like Lamott said. Maybe going off a point you never thought of into depth. Lamott even said that publish authors do it to make there writing better and fun to read. It also gets your thoughts all out on the paper so you can organize it. I feel like since no is going to see it and you know how bad it is. You then push yourself to make it better and what you really want versus just publishing the product.
