Paraphrase of shitty first drafts
Writing does not come easily to most of us, even for the more gifted among us, even for those who do so professionally, the process of writing is often a tedious, often tortuous slog. Full of trial and error, starts and stops and the dredded writers block. That being said it all has to start somewhere, and for most of us, here lay our first steps, our first drafts, our shitty first drafts; such is the topic of Annie
Lamott’s shitty first drafts.
It is here Lamott feels that the writer is free to simply write, whatever it is they wish and engage in the wild outpouring of uncensored free thought. It is here in, these first fledgling paragraphs that there can often be found incoherence and inspiration in equal measure. Here we the writer is free to indulge themselves and just let rip, for lack of a better term, embracing any , weird, silly or downright stupitd ideas that may pop into there heads. Lammott encourages this, that the writer simply express themselves, without a thought towards editing, grammar, spelling or even basic sentence sturture, these things can all be corrected in later.
It is after this torrent of unrestrained intellectual output, that sanity and sense may be re-imposed and the shears brought forth and at long last the editing process can began. Bits and pieces of delightful nonsense are excised, transitional birdges tighten and grammer checked, points clarified and senteance structure trimmed. This process can take two or three or however many drafts the writer feels necessary until the final product is deemed suitable for presentation.
Such a process can be undertaken wherever the writers feels best able, be it in a quiet, well lit corner, free from all distractions and worldly concersn and worry. Or in the midst of boisterous café with a local band playing their favorite song with more enthusiasm then skill, it matters
