bad first drafts

"the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down.
The second draft is the up-draft--you fix it up... and the third draft is the dental draft.

I reallly liked the neumonic similies she used becasue its absolutley right. I right alot of songs, and your first thought is almost never what the song turns out to be. You always have an idea, and you try to ryhme some words, but untill you get those first few lines out, the song is in shambles. whether a song, or a paper, it is best to just write and see what you come up with, then go back over it. In high school, the teachers tried to make us do that and I didn't appreciate it at all, but now I see why.
