The thought of writing an essay for a class can be
very nerve-racking. Many students in today’s modern world have dealt with this
seemingly dreadful task. In this case, people get the negatives and anxieties
of writing mixed up with its entertainment. One of the beauties of writing
comes from its design. In the design, the author can overview the situation,
create and organize ideas, and produce a draft.
The first
thing associated with designing an essay is the overview of the situation. This
includes finding the purpose, audience, topic, context and genre. These can all
combine to create the essay needed for the situation. For example for a Nascar
race, you wouldn’t want to drive a ’98 Honda. Also, if you want cowboys at your
concert, you would play country not rap. Once you go over the provided topics,
then you can go onto creating your own ideas.
Creating ideas can be both easy and very difficult. Thinking
of the first couple ideas is very easy almost instant. But most of the time
figuring out that last idea is a pain. This is when techniques such as
freewriting and brainstorming are useful. In freewriting you write down
whatever is on your mind over a given amount of time. Brainstorming is just
like freewriting except you write down everything you know about a given topic.
Personally, I don’t find these techniques handy when I need an idea. I usually
like to talk to other people or use other sources. This is the lazy way but two
thoughtful minds are better than one. Once you wrote down all your ideas, you
can then organize it in many different ways to prepare it for your rough draft.
So now you have your plans and ideas to create this
monster. The first thing to do is create your thesis. This is a claim of fact
or as my professor says your freaking point. After generating the thesis, your
provide an outline: Intro, Body, and Conclusion. Stick your thesis into your
intro and plot your main ideas into your body. Start writing away. Don’t worry
about mistakes, this is a draft. In the end, write the same thing in the
conclusion that you wrote in the intro. Just make sure the words are rearranged
to provide a different sounding paragraph.
Constructing an essay is fun. It’s like being an
architect where you think of what type of building you want for what purpose, and
then draw it up, and start building. The pre-planning phase is the most
important when it comes to writing.

I really like this post because it wasn't the same boring post about writing an essay draft. The use of several similes and metaphors, for example the simile about writing an essay being similar to arquitecture provided a better understanding of what a rough draft is, which is just your ideas in a physical form. The other example I really liked in this post was the example of the '98 Honda in a NASCAR race, and the cowboy at a concert. It really put into perspective for me that my essay needs to be addressed to the audience I want to reach.

Planning and outlines are essential for high quality essay writing. As for college admission essays, they have more peculiarities which should be taken into account
As a teacher for Write My Essay For Me my suggestion is to take each point and list any supporting evidence that you can use to elaborate. You need definitions, statistics, examples, quotes from famous people or from psychologists (make sure to cite your sources and do not plagiarize ideas) etc...
I have an 8-10 page essay due for Wikipedia Page Consultant Services at the end of this week. How long will it take to write? I'm a very skilled writer but this is the first time I've had such a lengthy assignment.
