The first draft is the perfect time to record anything and everything that comes to mind. No matter how crazy, foolish, or dreadful you find this draft to be, let the thoughts flow and keep writing. The first draft is the root of creation to a beautiful piece of writing. Writing is a time consuming process that needs to start somewhere. It takes patience and persistence but a person with these characteristics is one who will end up successful. It is very rare and in my opinion, unrealistic for a writer to finish a draft of perfection in one sitting. It is nearly impossible no matter how talented the writer may be, except maybe for the writer Anne claims we do not like very much. It takes me a decent amount of time to write the opening paragraph, let alone a whole paper. The act of writing multiple drafts is necessary if you want your work to improve. After going back and reading over your first draft, you can decide what lines should stay and which should be eliminated from your piece. If you want a line to stay, but you find it to be too wordy, you can simply rearrange the structure of the sentence. All of these editing techniques in first, second, and final drafts, are the little improvements which can make a big difference in your writing.
