Essay Writing Secrets

Essay Writing SecretsWriting a good essay should involve plenty of research and thought. But most of us tend to leave most of the work to our assistants, meaning that we tend to write as little as possible, particularly during the first draft. This article will try to teach you a secret: a secret that could be the difference between a half-hearted job and a job done well.A good bit of research goes into any essay: it's a vital step that almost every student that's ever read an essay since the dawn of mankind has failed to consider. But there's a solution for this problem: a solution that will involve some hard work, but one that's worth the time. In today's essay writing world, the editor expects that the writer will have some research to do. The editor is there to offer suggestions for what might go better or what could be improved.Now, when your essay is finished, you may find that you had spent most of the last third of the essay on the page and a half, so that you're forced to st art again, when you finally turn the page and get to the side. Here's the problem: it's not the end of the world, because you've done what the editor was looking for! The editor will be more than happy to accept your suggestion if it's something you've worked on before and haven't gone back to when you turned the page and got to the side. As long as you work out what the point of the side is, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, then you'll soon have a second draft that's been edited down to a quarter of a page and a half. And that's not bad, but will you have learned something new?If you look at essays that are finished, they're usually half-way down the page (either in Word or in PDF) and a couple of pages left on the side. You may as well be writing an opera, because it doesn't really matter whether you finish the poem at the word 'And', or if you finish the essay at the end of the introduction. When you realise how much hard work goes into each essay, you'll be thankful tha t you don't overdo it.If you do, you may find that you're even writing half the essay, with the line ending up at the side. The editor may want the introduction to be different to the conclusion, which may mean that you've spent more time researching, or more time editing. Which, if you think about it, would be a great idea. Either way, you'll have written the best essay you possibly can.When your essay has a minimum of one hundred words left on the page, you might consider turning the page and leaving the essay to the reader. Most of the questions the reader will be trying to answer, you'll already have covered in the introduction or the summary.You could end up leaving the paragraph at the side, or a few paragraphs on the page, rather than simply turning the page and starting again. Or, if you like, you could finish the essay with one sentence, leaving the rest to the reader. That will surely be more effective than cutting down on what the editor thinks you've been doing.
