Overall, I didn't have a problem with this article. It wasn't one of my favorites, but I thought it was very interesting. Learning new things is always fun.

Response	Quotation
I agree with this. I feel that this happens with everyone.	"For me and most of the other writers I know, writing is not rapturous.  In fact, the only way I can get anything written at all is to write really, really shitty first drafts" (302).
I felt this was a little extreme but it was funny. Everyone always has a choice.	“It's not like you don't have a choice, because you do - you can either type or kill yourself” (301).
I like how this was compared to a child's draft. I don't know why. It is like making everything simple.	"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 you can shape it later" (302).
The reason I chose this was because it painted a picture in my head and I thought of my own basement and that brought back good memories.	"I'm in another place, a basement place where there are lots of bright lights and clear images. This is a place I've built for myself over the years. It's a far-seeing place" (305).
Just keep writing. I liked that a lot. It is like never give up.	“Even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any signs of promise, you keep writing anyway” (Diaz 320).
