As someone who uses and thinks about that first phrase a lot, I’m a fan of this correction. Messy is a great word choice. The first draft of my second novel is currently very “messy.”

I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.
I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."
Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.
