Post 5: "Shitty First Drafts"

I believe Lamotts central argument is the presumption that people have that experienced writers can just write an amazing story within one sitting. She tells us that it is important to understand that writers have their own process for writing and that it all starts with a very important first draft. She tells us that it can be a painful process but if you can just let yourself go and write about whatever you can that pertains to what you are covering without any restrictions. This way you can open doors into new avenues of writing.
 When thinking about how this pertains to the wikipedia edit it kind of makes sense. Looking at all the start and stub class of works that are not quite done yet show us just how "shitty" a first draft can be. Over the weekend i have started to edit in my sandbox and as of right now my first draft is so long and fact filled i need to trim it down in my second and third drafts. I do believe what she is saying is useful motivation to write your first draft so i can see that it does help with what we are learning on this wikipedia edit.
