- From what Lammot has to say, is writing a first draft more about the product or the process? Do you agree in regard to your own first drafts? Explain. //
Lammot says that shitty first drafts are meant to be just that- shitty. The most important thing to do is dump your brain onto a piece of paper so that you can mold and create something in your second draft. Product and process are equally important, as one is almost impossible without the other.
For me, my writing process is almost non-existent. I don’t do well getting my thoughts cleanly written into nice flowing paragraphs, I get them jotted down in bullet points with sub-points explaining more. Writing any kind of flow is so difficult for me because I have so many ideas that I want to talk about that don’t always relate to one another cleanly. So for first drafts I really believe its the content and thought process that is the most important. If you have something to start with it makes it all the more easier to link and flow and connect your ideas together in one big long essay.
