A Tip on Rewriting Essays
By complete accident, I found a very nice way to rewrite essays!
I was writing the rough draft to my essay for Lit. class in my school computer lab, and I couldn’t get it to save to computer so I could email myself, I could only print it. Because of that, I had to rewrite my whole essay today. I thought this would be horrible. Rewrite the whole thing…? It actually turned out to be the best thing for me. I had to look at what I had written, and make it better. I was forced to forget what I had written, and write new, better, amazing sentences. My second draft was 1,000 times better than an edited version of the first draft could have been.
I suggest you try this technique out. I’ve never done it before, and I’m not sure how it would work for fiction (it’s probably been suggested before?) but it forced me to improve my work, and read everything I had written. In the end, I have an amazing essay!

Thanks for the tip! I’m sure it’ll come in handy sometime in the very near future, especially as all my professors seem to enjoy assigning research papers on the same day and often with the same due date. Who has time for quality control when you have so much work? Thanks again! I’ll give it a try.
