The article "Shitty First Drafts" by Lamott tells a story about the writing process and her view on drafts. To her, first drafts are supposed to be anything you want to write about, and is supposed to be like a raw, uncut gem. It doesn't have to be good on its first draft, it just has to express all the things you want to write about, since you know that you can always change it later. She would try to write as much as she can so that the next time she looks at it, she can write all over it and decide where to go with this draft: take out things, re-write sentences, add in new words, etc.
