Shitty First Drafts

Shitty first drafts helped me a lot with my paper. I used to go into a paper scared to death even of my first draft. However this author states that the first draft is nothing more than just your ideas on the lines. Your paper will materialize with the help of proof readers. Also, the first draft is not meant to be perfect and mistakes will happen. This author clearly thinks that mistakes will happen on your first drafts and they aren't always perfect.
