// "The first draft is a discovery draft--a vision of what might be." --Donald Murray //

This is it. You're reading for your first draft, your first complete look at your writing idea. Keep these points in mind during the drafting stage:
 * Speak naturally and honestly so the real you shines through your writing.
 * Pay special attention to your opening paragraph. It should grab your readers' attention and identify the focus.
 * Use as much detail as possible.
 * Continue writing until you make all of your main points, or you come to a logical stopping point.
 * BE FLEXIBLE!
