Writing the first draft is what most writers need to start their writing task with. It doesn�t have to be perfect at first. It�s a normal thing that a lot of mistakes are being committed in your content and you don�t have to feel worried about it. So, what are the things that you need to include in your first draft? Why is it so important and how are you going to write it in an effective way without causing too much time in your writing allotment.
Ever finished a paragraph, looked at it and exclaimed, �That sucks�? Don�t worry about it. It�s the first draft. And the simple truth is, it�s often terrible.
It doesn�t matter if you�re a college student barely stringing words together or a working feature writer with ten years of professional experience under your belt. Chances are good that most of the first drafts you manage to come up with will always fail.
The real skill of writing comes into play after the first draft, when you�re working at the mess of words you�ve produced and reworking it into a solid piece. More than fixing up grammar and syntax (which any quality English writing software should be able to do), this phase of the writing process allows you to polish the turd, so to speak.
It doesn�t really matter if there are a lot of errors in your writing when you are going to write your first draft, what matter is that, you had written all your ideas down as much as you can. You will sooner edit your work later on.
The importance of writing a first draft is that you will not miss any ideas which keep on flowing out of your mind upon analyzing the subject. As long as you record it all through writing, then you wouldn�t have any problems in constructing your content. Also, the fact that it will save your time more even after writing your first draft is a plus.
What�s the point of the first draft then, if it�s supposed to suck? The goal at that stage is to put something down on paper, allowing your knowledge and passion about the subject to peel itself from your mind into a digestible form. That�s it � no more needs be asked.
Isn�t it good that you will have the chance to write down your ideas about the topic without considering that you will need to edit each sentence first before proceeding to the next statement? If that happens, you will be interrupted from your concentration in generating creative ideas for your content.
So while writing the first draft, don�t be anxious about your spellings and grammars, write first before you edit it all. That�s the concept of writing the first draft.
The moral of the story? Don�t worry about the first draft. For the most part, that phase is a reflection of your familiarity with the subject, rather than a measure of your writing abilities. The crucial part comes after that � how you craftily shape that clay into a viscerally-enticing mold.
