Richard Harris, author of Pompeii (a novel i read in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvio) had an interesting piece of advice when starting to learn how to write and that is; write any sort of crap (his word), but just start writing and that a page with any sort of crap was better than a blank page. u can always edit, spell/grammar check later and by polishing up some of it u may in fact be able to use it, if not there and then, possibly later on.
in other words, just start writing and don't throw anything away.

he's completely right! there's no such thing as a bad first draft (as long as it leads to productive revisions), and the marking for this module is based on improvement, so fire ahead! that said, your colleagues would probably appreciate something coherent to comment on, so it might be best to keep the very first draft to yourself :)
