Tips on writing an essay from my history professor

1. If you approach writing as a mystical event where you sit down at a blank page and expect to be visited by divine inspiration, you’re fucked. Writing is not a talent, it is a skill. It is a muscle. If you don’t use it, it dies.

2. Be comfortable with writing absolute garbage. Get all your thoughts down: write shit. Then edit; devote 50% of your time or more to editing. This is when you write your thesis. This is when you decide where paragraphs are.

3. Know how to use a comma. If you use more than two in a sentence, it’s too many. You’re doing something wrong. In American writing, beauty is not in the length and complexity of a sentence. Beauty is in short sentences, with a variety of structures.

4. If you can cut a word, cut it. Ask yourself, do I really need all these words? Keep only what is necessary, leave room for the important stuff.

5. Avoid canned expressions. The phrase ‘a needle in a haystack’ was effective the first time it was used in an essay – it no longer is. It would be better to write the most boring sentence than to write a cliche metaphor that serves no purpose.

6. When you use the word “which” you should probably be using the word “that.” If you don’t know, assume it should be “that.”

7. Avoid obscure vocabulary or jargon. Obscure vocabulary displays nothing about your intelligence or academic success.

8. Read good writing with the intention of absorbing how those authors write successfully.

20/01 - first week of second semester is done and I dove straight into my first essay! I went for the opening and read for four hours, hopefully enough to have a first draft by the end of next week! but the topic is really interesting so I guess that counts just as much as the final grade right

finally taking ACTUAL notes again instead of panicky-scribble-down ones. january has the best vibes for happiness and productivity for me! totoro is also very encouraging, as well. (you can find my study stuff at #studybud ava)

Oggi mi sono sfidata. Oggi ho meditato. Sono arrivata a conclusioni nuove. Ne ho confermato delle vecchie. Ho avuto dei risultati. Sono soffisfatta. Non era perfetto. Ma è giusto così È stato come… vivere. Mi è piaciuto.

Dovrei ripetere.

STUDYBLR COMMUNITY

please like or reblog this if you’re a studyblr because I desperately want to follow more blogs, so I want to check out a bunch of blogs!! I’m especially looking for English lit/language and Italian language oriented blogs because I’m an English major and I’m planning on continuing my Italian studies soon. But I love quality content so even if you’re not English/Italian blog, I’ll still follow you!!
