Question: Do you think every single writer would find this method helpful? Why might some not?

    i think this method could help a lot of writers not all, because not everyone can write in the manner, but it would only make sense to draft and correct errors, the shittier, the more errors to correcting. it all depend son the written however i see how it could be a helpful method.

    In my opinion, while it may be helpful to some writers, I think this method isn't really helpful for the majority of writers. I believe that most writers want to put their best effort into everything they write, and if a writer is just writing "shitty first drafts" just for the sake of getting something on paper, that first draft may have nothing useful for them to continue off of, and could be completely useless.
