Lamott uses her writing style to enhance her points and to engage the reader into believing what she has written. She states her opinions and also gives examples to reinforce her facts. Hearing that she herself has experienced the troubles of writing and that many people she knows also have the same difficulties gives the reader reason to believe the author. Her essay gives readers hope that their next drafts will be better than that "shitty first draft."
Personally, I agree with all of the suggestions she gives. The best and most satisfying way to begin a paper is to get it all out. Every thought has to go on paper whether it be a fused sentence or just one key word. The point is to have it all down to get organized later on. The masterful wording and embellished sentence structure will come with time. I agree with her because she has experience and knows what she is writing about. Lamott has great insight and numerous perspectives due to her friends and different writing occupations.
