A shitty first draft wow what a good title for a paper about writing. This story has to hit home with everybody because it did me I always write a very shitty first draft. The article was a really good article it caught the attention and really made me want to finish the reading. I can compare this to a lot of my writing experiences I have to just sit down and write a little bit get up go somewhere else do something else and then get back to the writing. The whole thing about having to write a bad first draft is a good idea I think that it would relieve a lot of stress and give you a chance to just write about whatever comes to mind. I thought about the nights where I would get to writing and then realize that the draft was really bad causing me to have to restart instead I should have just kept writing got all my ideas down and then used that really bad copy to form my final draft. The whole article I feel like will be very helpful to me in the future I will know use the shitty first draft method to get me off on the right path. A time that I remember that I couldn’t write and I had to kill time was this past writing assignment I went to octagon twice left the library went to a lab and still was unable to get started so it took me like a total of three hours before I was ready. Know all I have to do is write that shitty first draft.

I didn't have time to read that article, but your summary makes it sound pretty interesting and worth reading; maybe I'll find time to read it anyway. It sounds like it might be good just to write that first draft because I normally try and write my drafts as close to the final as possible, but that also means less revision when it comes time to that step, but it looks like this might work for you.
