Anne Lamott's "Shitty First Drafts" gives an in-depth look at the writing process. A quick look past the humor reveals the work, effort, and time that goes into composing an essay. Each additional step makes you realize how much actually goes into writing a good essay.
My writing consists of a single draft. This draft does not under-go any revision or even any rereading. The first time it will ever be read in its entirety is when it is sitting in the hands of the grader. Despite the lack of multiple drafts, I've always found my writing to be pretty decent as long as I have an understanding of the topic. The reason I write only one draft is because I can't stand to work on the same thing over and over, I hate repetition. Once I finish an essay, I never want to look at it again.
My writing is a comedic act. It is critical and sarcastic and will only be gone through once. It is free to take any direction it pleases, although sometimes it might follow a path too long. I will criticize anything I feel can be made fun of to make a point, despite any controversy it may be bring. My way is the highway, if you don't like it you can leave. Don't find it funny? That's your problem.
