When lamott uses the word "shitty" in this essay she is trying to get the point across that she just sits down and writes. Whatever comes to her she just puts it down. She talks about by doing this you may have 5 pages of complete nonsense but there may be something somewhere in there that is important to what you want to write in your next draft. I think this is what you try and get us to do when you tell us to just write, not to over think what we are doing.
I am guessing by not being a good writing without even trying to make it my "shitty" draft it probably turns out that way. I usually have a hard time beginning my writing but once I have I just continue to write. I usually take my first draft and re-read it and I usually find stuff that doesn't need to be in it or think of stuff to add to it.
To improve my drafts I will basically take the feedback that I have received throughout this course to improve my original draft.
