Reflection On Self Reflection

Register to read the introduction… I enjoyed all of the articles in a way but the one I enjoyed the least was the one I found most beneficial. Shitty first drafts taught me that it is okay to write like an elementary school child because it helps to get all the thoughts out. There was no need to be embarrassed because it’s just a rough draft, why try to make it perfect?. Before I read this article I thought my rough drafts had to be perfect or close to it and that is the reason why I had such a hard time getting started on the essay or even writing an essay.
