phranswanama - the essay-writing fremen

[frandroid]

Okay, this essay is a month late and has cause me (and thus my beloved) countless hours of stress. I am not going to bed until I have spat out 7 pages, no matter how shitty they are. I am armed with cinnamon coffee, the best drink a fremen writer can rely on.

5am. 200 words. This is not going as well as I intended, although the essay is gelling in my head. Fuck, I always get so scared by the number of words. Even though this is an eigth of my essay, I don't feel like I've written anything down yet. Dayem.

GO GO GO! WRITE WRITE WRITE! Spew out some crap just to increase your word count and boost your confidence, you can always erase it all afterwards!

I wrote half the essay, and then I tried to stay up, but my brain was fried. When it was clear I wouldn't make it to my tutorial today, I went and took a nap, and when I woke up my partner had made an amazing dinner! Now I want to pump out a bit more before going to bed early. I'm drifting away from the question though. I think I don't care. We'll see.

Good luck. I never let myself write past around 2 AM at the very very latest... because any later than that and I'd just get confused and write crap. When I was really, really pressed for time, I'd write til 1 or 2AM, sleep until 6AM, and then write a little more.

Again, good luck!!
