For my high school English/Writing courses, everyone was expected to write perfect papers. If the teachers taught me one thing, it would be how they explained that the key to perfect paper is going over it and making revisions. "Shitty First Drafts" by Anne Lamott shows that successful writers across the world need more than one crack at a perfect writing just like me. Lamott explains how she has written food reviews for the California magazine and points out that she has made many mistakes and revisions to her reviews to make it as good as possible. She expresses how she is ready to give up and go back her old job when things get tough but she goes back to writing a really really shitty first draft. This article taught me that your writing gets better the more time and effort you put in it. Your first draft can be horrible, but it can turn into a five star all American story by the time your final draft comes.
