Fastest way to get help with your writing project.

Have you ever missed a deadline for submitting your essay or any other paper? I bet you did, at least once. You want to know how to write essays fast and effectively? It’s really easy if you have everything planned and know what to do.

The following scheme will help with writing any paper within a short timeframe.

Here are top 5 options you can choose:

  1. Ask your friend or relative to help you with an essay.
  2. Pay someone to write your essay – either a fellow student or a custom writing service.
  3. Use copy-paste-edit method – excellent editing and paraphrasing skills are required.
  4. Essay samples compilation method – find a few samples on the internet related to your topic (there are tons of different databases) and put the main ideas together in your own words.
  5. No help – no other option: write an essay yourself (if the deadline is tight – consider pulling an all-nighter).

Let us concentrate on the last variant, and I will teach you how to help yourself.

First off, define how much time you have left till the deadline. Smart planning works best, you cannot afford losing precious time. That is why I would advise to organize the writing stages wisely. Now, dedicate 10-15% of the time you have to brainstorming ideas. Always write down all of the ideas you come up with, even the silliest ones, as the more original thoughts you have, the better.

Next, review the list of your ideas and pick up the most interesting ones. Concentrate on them first. In case you would need to add a bit more information, use the other arguments from the list. Remember to make a catchy headline and develop a nice thesis statement, as you have to attract the readers first, make them want to read your essay to the final dot.

The next 30-35% of your time you have to spend on a research. Look at the ideas you chosen and start googling – it is the fastest way to find information. Make sure that the material is relevant to your topic though, as the Internet is full of spam (ish) information. This stage is crucial as a success of your essay depends on it. Remember to cite all the sources, do not just copy-paste. If you do, it may result in failing a class or even lead to expulsion.

50-60% of the time you have left will be spent on the actual writing process. Consider writing an outline first – take your idea list and divide all the points into 3 categories: introduction, main body and conclusion. Remember that each category should answer its particular question:

  • Why you are writing and what you are writing about? – Introduction should contain the answer
  • How can this or that point be described and supported? – These are the questions to deal with in the main body
  • How can the problem be solved? What is the final solution? – Conclusion is the right place to answer these

While writing, never stop and re-read what you have already written, as you may run into a writer’s block. You will have a chance to check everything during the last stage – editing and proofreading. Once you draw the line in your conclusion, you are all set to start with it. It’s also a good idea to give your essay for someone else to read. You are very likely to miss some mistakes of yours, and the other person will correct the errors plus you will have an objective opinion on your write-up.

Being a student sucks from time to time, especially when you have a bunch of papers due in a couple of days. That is why learning the tips above is really helpful when getting through with an academic burden. In any case, never give up and stay positive. May the power be with you!
