reflection #4

      This week focused a lot about rough drafts and the importance of imperfections. There is a constant thought to create something perfectly the first time within my conscience. This is the opposite case for writing. The drafts should be very rough in the beginning. The main goal is to get the words on the paper! Being a low-key perfectionist, this was difficult because if I wrote a sentence that wasn't "good", I didn't want to leave it in. When what I need to focus on is coming back to make corrections after the first draft is written.

     No one is good at writing the first time. If you are, then I am jealous. First drafts are meant to be rough. I need to get it out of my head that it should be right the first time.
