Writing a horrible first draft and going back to revise it seems like torture. I understand the idea of pushing through any doubts and fears and just putting words to paper but not going back to correct any issue just appears as agonizing.I understand the appeal of just putting words to paper as I’m sure it helps when writing or trying anything new. Like George Dila I constantly revise as I go along and because of this writing method I can’t personally imagine ever just spewing words onto a paper or document. I have tried this method in the past but it only led to me constantly stopping and wondering if anything that I just wrote made sense. My current method of revising as I go on allows my writings to make sense to myself. The concept of a horrible first draft is that no one will see it so you don’t have to worry but if I were to just write without checking then my writing wouldn’t make sense to me when I come back to look. at it at a later date. I also have to plan out whatever I’m writing even if it’s only like two bullet points so just writing without revising wouldn’t work out for me.
