\u201cThe first draft is like the child\u2019s draft, where you let it all pour out and then let it romp all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n
What I believe Lamont means by this, is that much like a child, a rough draft for any good piece of writing may start out messy and unorganized and grow into something beautiful.<\/p>\n
As we start to write, we begin with the raw, uncut version of our thoughts, freely expressed onto paper with no specific direction. This ties in with what Lamont refers to as \u201cromping all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Romping” gives writers the opportunity to consider several different approaches to their work and create new ideas they may have otherwise been unable to reach. For example, sometimes when you begin to write without giving thought to each word, you may find yourself with several more points to make about your topic than you would have if you were to simply write out and edit\/adjust your first body of writing.<\/p>\n
This is why making drafts before finalizing any form of writing is so crucial to one\u2019s success as a writer. Making several versions of an essay, story blog, etc. gives your mind room to expand and consider all angles. As you complete your writing, however many drafts you deem necessary to do so, your writing piece will grow and mature, leaving your final draft as what Lamont may consider, the \u201cadult draft.\u201d<\/p>\n
