Week 3 Reading Response

Anne Lamont's essay, "Shitty First Drafts", was very helpful with easing the fears of needing the first draft to be perfect. Knowing that everyone has drafts that are not good in the beginning of a project is great, because it lets us know that everyone is human. People assume that best selling authors can just sit down at their computer and type out a Top Seller's List book like they had just brushed their teeth, and that's all there was to it. Everyone has trouble in the beginning, and Lamont's essay is simply written for easy reading and understanding.
