i think this is really important because i think the reason i haven't always excelled in writing is because i wasn't able to pick what i wanted to write about i was always given a topic i didn't find interesting and was force to write about it. therefore i think it's really important find something you really enjoy this way you don't find writing like a chore or boring.
I must question my argument: I must modify, amend, complicate and refine my thesis; I must take into account counterarguments; and I must continuously reorganize and reword whatever I am writing.
i really like this statement because over the writing process i do find myself constantly going back and reorganizing my thoughts.
We write for many reasons: to pontificate. To persuade. To express ourselves. To raise our profile. To establish a brand.
i agree that writing is a way for others to show who they are and their interests. but we all write for our own reasons and our own writing style.
The goal of a writing assignment worth its salt is not simply to describe or persuade or summarize: it’s to drive students to make sense of difficult material and develop their own distinctive take.
i think this is a good reminder to myself of what the goal actually is because i find myself getting upset over some writing assignments. so it's a good reminder that this is to help us grow and progress.

You can even combine the two, writing the shitty first draft to surface nuggets of truth, then inserting those nuggets into the fat outline.
i think this is a great way to get started and very useful because it's something you can look back on while writing so you don't forget some of the ideas you have.
The first draft is the child’s draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place, knowing that no one is going to see it and that you can shape it later. You just let this childlike part of you channel whatever voices and visions come through and onto the page.
i agree with this because personally most of the time i want my first draft is perfect but in all honesty it's called a draft for a reason it's so when can just throw out ideas and fix it up later.

The best writers do this on the best days; you, on the other hand, have to work even when you are not the best writer and it is not the best day. You can solve this my way — with a fat outline — or Anne Lamott’s — with a shitty first draft.
this shows us not to be so hard on ourselves and not to compare ourselves to really talented writers because most of the time they get to choose when to write as for us we have to write even when we aren't in the mood too.
