On my way to the internet club I had entire homework in my head ready to become an information,ready to become a creation of my mind.But(there is always but when it comes to my essays),when I saw the keyboard it all just evaporated somewhere,God knows where,and that evaporated essay that was supposed to be written is actually shitty first draft.
When I saw that my essay just disappeared,I kind of wondered,how difficult it is for someone to ''throw'' his emotions and thoughts on the paper.It's not ''a piece of cake''.
My entire family is u bunch of artists,but when it comes to me ,I suddenly turn into a black sheep of family.I just do not know how to get into it,get into the basic points and issues.
I admire Anne Lamott and her way of creating some kind of master-piece essay with all the parts so wisely collected in the perfect chain where every part of it can be the beggining or the end of essay.Every part is logicly connected with hidden and(or) exposed thoughts and feelings,that is why every paragraph can actually be a non-shitty first draft of an other essay.
In her essay using metaphors really did the job.Sometimes when reading someone's essay you can see the absence of metaphors,like mine maybe,but putting metaphors in my essay wouldn't look nearly good like in Anne's essay.Lack of imagination prevents me in doing that,that's why I try to avoid it and explain things like they are,but reading Anne's essay I figured out that people are becoming more interested in it by creating some new metaphors by seeing the written one.
Anne Lamott in one spot in essay says something very simple but so strength-giving,that helps us to see something more clear.She says:
In fact, the only way I can get anything written at all is to write really, really shitty first drafts.
Simple.Isn't it? But see this.This essay is awesome, very good writing,written by a very intelligent person,but one thing-she admits us that this essay was a shitty first draft in the beginning,but read it now, it is almost perfect-an essay about an essay.This part of essay is actually to encourage all of you shitty-first-draft-writers to continue with your writing because it is probably worth something.
