The first article that I read was the shitty first drafts. I really enjoyed this article, as it made me think about when I write a first draft. I agree that the main goal when I am writing is to get everything I have to say out on paper. I am also scared that some people will find my first draft and read that before I ever even have the chance to go over it again. I realized that I do exactly what the author does, I like to get a written draft with all my thoughts and ideas, then I like to go over it another couple times before I feel as though it could be turned inn and graded. The hardest part about starting a paper is getting the first draft done. However, I do realize that as long as I can get my thoughts on paper, I can go over it again and reorganize my thoughts as needed.
The second article was why I write. This was also a very interesting article as it addressed why the author wrote, and how she did it. What I liked most about this article is that she would have mental images when beginning to write a book, and she would go off of what she saw in her mind. It was as if she had nowhere to go with it, all she had was an image in her mind and then took this image to the next level by expanding on ideas that she has created. This really made me think about why I write, and how I will continue to write in the future.
Wrong week, Jon.
