Shitty First Draft

                I have always loved writing ever since I can remember.  When I was ten, I would keep a little notebook full of stories I would write; I never finished any of them though, for some reason.  I would get bored with the story after writing it for a week or so and start writing another.  I never really planned what I wrote either, I just wrote whatever came to mind, which is why I am horrible at rough drafts.  I don’t believe in rough drafts and I sort of see them as a waste of time.  I mean they are better for whatever you’re writing and make your writings more efficient, but rough drafts are not for me.  One time I did do a rough draft for a paper, though, and I got a C on it (the paper), so that was a fail.  I’m really ADHD and a master procrastinator so maybe that has something to do with my hatred of rough drafts.  Papers were meant for doing the night before, under a lot of pressure and stress, so that way all of your stress and anger is taken out on the paper and it ends up being really good!  I hope I am doing this paper correctly haha.
