In her 1994 book on writing, Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott gave a chapter a blunt title: “Shitty First Drafts.” Early in the chapter she writes: “All good writers write them.”
“The first draft is the child’s draft, where you let it all pour out…” Then comes the next stage. “The second draft is the up draft — you fix it up.” The chapter has been reprinted in college writing textbooks such as Language Awareness.
