Anne Lamott’s article, “Shitty First Drafts”, talks about how every writer should start off by writing a shitty draft because from there you are able to produce even better drafts by figuring out what works and what does not. This reminded me of the dotline project we are doing in class because we had to prepare 15 thumbnail sketches and after getting feedback we created 15 more. From there we keep getting more feedback and improving our ideas until we finally get close to something worthy enough to be a final composition. I think the hardest part of this process for me is getting over my fear of producing something not pleasing enough. I need to focus more on getting my ideas down first and then perfecting it later.
