How long does it take for you to write a short essay?

<p>Phew… there are sooooo few days left.</p>

<p>And I’m getting nervous because I still have a lot of short essays left to do.</p>

<p>About how long does it take for you to write one of the “short” essays?</p>

<p>What are you considering short? I generally consider “short answers” the 2-3 paragraph things, and short essays one-pagers.</p>

<p>It probably takes me 2-3 hours over two days to write a one pager (500-600 words?), maybe another hour on another day to do some editing. 2-3 paragraph things I generally get done in under 20 minutes, and I can spend anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours editing them.</p>

<p>about 15 minutes, and another 10 for editing and bam! short answer
im talking about the short short answer</p>

<p>for the longer ones it takes me about an hour and then another hour for revisions and about 15 minutes to redo the other and be done with it.</p>

<p>Yeah!</p>

<p>I mean the “short answers” for the ones with 300 words, 250 words, etc.</p>

<p>(I got ALL my long answers done, so I’m left with all these short answers to do.)</p>

<p>The short answers generally took me about 5 hours to do a thorough job of, and the essays took between 1 and 3 days.</p>

<p>yeah… i take a long time when it comes to those things - like an hour at least for just 100 words… but on the plus side I choose my words carefully so it involves very little editing once I’m finished.</p>

<p>im a stream of consciousness writer. If I cant write the answer in less than about 30 minutes then its not wanting to be written. I just come back later and maybe it wants to be written then.</p>

<p>It takes me about 20-45 minutes.</p>

<p>How’s everybody doing on their essays?</p>
