My Approach to Writing

After reading Anne Lamott and George Dila’s side on their approach to first drafts, I believe I am the type of writer who is a lot like Anne Lamott. The moment I begin to write, I try to be organized with my thoughts and my writing has to be structured, but I write so much about a particular topic, there is a never-ending imagination of writing coming off of me. I really related when Lamott says, ” There may be something in the very last paragraph on page six that you just love, that is so beautiful or wild that you know what you’re supposed to be writing about …” To me this doesn’t mean to be a messy writer just like Dila tries to put it, to me this means that your imagination is running on high speed and you can’t cut the thought process because your mind is working on a masterpiece and you don’t even realize it. That’s the type of writer I am, I let go, be free, and fun with my thoughts.
