How do you write a rough draft?

You might go through several drafts before you are finally satisfied with what you have written. A rough draft is usually your first attempt. It might be incomplete in certain areas, and just in point form in others. Writing a rough draft is just writing what comes to mind, off the top of your head. You might have done research, and you might have more research to do. It's a 'get started' phase. Write everything you can, then put it aside. This is now your rough draft. At this point, you will have a good idea where you want to go with it, and what more you need to do to get it there.
