Summary AL’s SF Paragraph
In AL’s SF Draft paragraph 8-9 she talks about how she revises her work by using colorful highlighters to help her distinguish what need to be fixed. And paragraph 10 she talks about continuously revising your work, because even if you feel that you are done with your work there is always something that need fixing. When you feel that your work is complete you can be your hardest critic.

Paragraph 1 Summary:Shitty first, second and third drafts can be beneficial and frustrating because of all the mistakes that will be made. You will benefit from it by learning from your mistakes.

Summaring “Shitty First Drafts”
Paragraph three: Lamott is simply restating her thesis in this paragraph. She's also reminding readers that writing is not quick and easy by saying “Writing is not rapturous”.
Paragraph four: In this paragraph Lamott brings to light the first steps of writing. She makes an analogy to help outline the proses, by comparing the first draft to a child saying whatever they want. Lamott emphasizes the importance of just getting words down on paper no matter how bad it is, because you're likely to find something good within in. Everyone has to start somewhere.

In Al’s SF Drafts paragraph 6 and 7 talks about coming to a stand still on her writing for her lead paragraphs describing her thoughts on drafts. In paragraph 7 she seems to over think her process before she can continue the first draft. She also shows how even though your writing might discourage you at first you should still continue to trust yourself and the process.

Paragraph 5 Summary
Anne Lamott in Paragraph 5 addresses the insecurity and doubt through the writing process. She explains the insecurity and desire to give up and quit, continuously battles with the process yet always brings herself back to writing through an unrelated routine of her own. She reiterates the need to write a “really shitty first draft” and reminds herself that “no one was going to see it”.

Sumarry of Anne Lammot's "Shitty Drafts"
In the first draft Anne Lamott explains how people believe that writers are able to write without any difficulties. Anne goes on to explain the reality of how successful writers struggle with the process of writing a good draft. They must write more than one before being satisfied with their work.
Good responses. Remember that the writing in the summary needs to be concise and correct. It also needs to make sense.
If you state she "states her thesis," state her thesis (smile).
Some of the summaries sound like notes. The sentences are fragments and the writers use abbreviations instead of Lamott's complete name.
Good examples of summaries here are: Dorothy et al.; India et al.; Athena et al.; Victor Chen et al.; Leslie et al.

In AI’s SF draft paragraph 1, what the core point she wants to let us know is that there are writers who think writing is as simple as a task you can accomplish with in a sunset inking a pen on a paper. She also uses some writers we admire as an exemplary foot steps to have and grab those fancy ideas in people’s psychological world. And that is through a bunch of drafts.
