Writing is far more about the lengthy process of physical (and mental) writing than concerning the product. Lamott discusses that the final product will come in due time because the process takes the longest and will inevitably get you to accomplish a work. I find first drafts beneficial for improving a paper, and I can relate to the harsh reality of having to write with limited time while still trying to sort out thoughts. Lamott depicts a procedure of depositing every idea in a first draft; she advises, “Just get it all down on paper because there may be something great in those six crazy pages…” (Lamott 1.4). She encourages the dispersion of thoughts, notes, and anything that could help form a solid point. Not to mention that this first draft is only the beginning, with many other drafts following, trying to reshape those thoughts into a more coherent amalgamation. All the shaping, rewording, editing, or deleting altogether are advantages to the writing process, slowly building up to the final product through all the drafting. I agree with the aspect of first drafts, as they aid in creating more robust points later on once one can devise better statements and arguments.
