Process of my drafts

I felt as though I could really identify and relate with the writer Anne Lamott when it comes to writing the first draft. I can get easily frustrated with writing papers if I keep starting over and trying to write the entire paper in one sitting. I am one of those people who prefer to sit down for hours and complete an entire project instead of doing a little at a time. I suppose this is also why I tend to procrastinate, which is an even worse habit. Lamott expands on her writing process and how she would start writing and then cross it all out and keep starting over. She would take a break from her work for a while because she was frustrated, and then came back to her work and just let lose. She would stop being so hard on herself and just let her writing flow without restrictions."So I'd start writing without reining myself in, " lamott said. At times I have done this and it makes the writing process so much easier, even if it is just ideas or questins I have.
