I believe that Lamott is saying that writing a first draft is more about the process than the product. Your first draft should just be anything and everything you can think of. It does not really matter if it makes complete sense, you can make it make sense, later on, in your second draft. It is just a starting point to what will turn out to be an amazing piece of writing, if you just follow the process. In regard to my own first drafts, I have not really followed the process as much as I should have. I do usually revise after I write my first draft, but usually only once and not too in depth. But, I want to become and even better writer, so I am going to work on following her process of doing three drafts. The first draft will consist of writing anything and everything I can think of down, just getting all of my thoughts out and into words. My second drafts will consist of building and fixing the big scheme of things a little bit more, just tidying things up. Lastly, my third draft will be inspecting things very closely, fixing EVERYTHING on a global AND local scale.
