When reading “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott, there were some thing that I could connect too. One of the things she stated that I can relate to is when she said “Very few writers really know what they are doing until they’ve done it.” This is a big part of my writing because I tend to have run on sentences and a lot of grammar mistakes. I tend to not stop writing and just continue to the end and go back and correct everything , but I always miss some. Also when she said “So I’d start writing without reining myself in. It was almost just typing, just making my fingers move.” this is exactly what I’m talking about, I do this very often. I can’t control myself when I get an idea I just need to type it or write it down as fast as I can. After reading this I was able to understand exactly where I mess up in my writings or essays. This really opened my eyes to how I can fix my problems.
Revision Plan: When it comes to my writing, I have many, may things that I need to work on. Including my grammar and spelling mistakes, along with transitions into new paragraphs. I have a rally hard time making connections between each paragraphs and I don’t know why. However, I would love to learn how I can accomplish this new writing strategy.
