Longest paper you ever wrote in one night?

[ScarletKnight]

I'll let ya know in about a month when my first 30 pages of my thesis are due, my 35 page alliance politics paper is due, and my two other 25 page papers are due. Apparently this semester my professors all decided to give us one research paper due at the end of the month and use that as our final grades, yeah it hasn't been fun. Especially, since I have been trying not to procrastinate because if I leave everything to get done at the last minute I'm pretty screwed.

BUT in High school I wrote a 20 page paper in one night about gun control and got an A on it. The teacher commented "this is college level work awesome job." Although when I go back and read it I am no so sure he was right, lol.

I cant spit papers out like that, im constantly reworking my work and I have to pace myself because of it.

Thats not a bad thing, when I take my time it takes me a while to come up with a finished product because like you I will make sure everything is perfect grammatically, structurally, everything. When I can be I am a perfectionist, but when I am lazy I just do what I have to do at the last minute. I basically end up with the same grades everytime though, lol.

So you end up with 50+ pages of assorted notes, clippings, pictures, and various drunken ramblings that make up your paper too?

Then narrow down what fits best where.

Longest thing I ever wrote overnight was a note to the wife saying we needed some milk.

Ah the joys of the UK education system lol.

Or read it online ... [/b]

The easiest ones to write are ones that you make up. I loved the "stories" or whatever I use to have to write. If you were a fast typer and had a decent imagination, you could write a shitload in a few hours. Not saying yours was easy or anything, but the ones I have full control of (not research, not specific, but my ideas) always make for easy work.
