Essay Assignment
Not more than 1,000 words. Under any circumstances.
It's your idea. The essay tries to exposit, weigh, and prepare the
reader to explore it.
Because brevity is important, you will need an outline. Edit the
outline carefully before you start drafting, in order to determine
precisely what you want to say and the order in which you want to say
it.
The most important stage of writing anything is the transition from
the carefully-edited outline to the bad first draft. The next most
important is the subsequent transition from the bad first draft to the
better second. All subsequent stages, though necessary, depend
entirely for their success on them. So we concentrate on those two
stages in this wiki.

Linking It
