Hello!

It is my duty to swami to share important information.

My mission is to help you improve your writing.  If I don’t, I’ll really get upset.

Did you know over 380,000 people fail out of college during their first year?

 It’s sad, but true.
We all know someone who didn’t make it through his or her first year of college.One of the biggest reasons why students struggle is their writing ability.

 

“Burr offers a thoughtful insight into the world of college writing. With a dash of wit and humor, he breaks down the typical forms of essays and papers students are asked to write at the collegiate level, creating a near-foolproof layout for writers to follow.”
-Dan H.

How much time do you spend writing your school papers?

Most people either spend very little time writing, or they spend hours upon hours struggling to put words on the page.

Imagine . . . college papers are nothing more than puzzles. Your job is to assemble the puzzle. If you rush through the puzzle, you may not even finish the whole thing. And if you do finish it, the picture might turn out distorted because you forced pieces into the wrong places in your haste.

On the other hand, if you take all the time in the world to put the puzzle together properly, the picture will come out perfectly. However, you will spend the whole day and night inside . . . alone. When you could be out with your friends enjoying yourself.

Which option is better? One emphasizes speed but sacrifices quality. The other emphasizes quality and sacrifices speed.

Neither is a good option.

Now, suppose you knew that each puzzle was structured the same way, and you knew exactly how to build the structure. Certain pieces went here, and other pieces always went over there. Wouldn’t you be able to build each puzzle a lot faster? And—since you knew where each piece fit—wouldn’t you be able to do it without mistakes?

Imagine . . . how much time and frustration you would save yourself if you knew exactly where every sentence went in the paper, and how many mistakes you would prevent!

Let me tell you a story cheap custom . . .

 

 

It was December, and the snow was coming down so hard that it would have been insane to attempt driving home. It was 8 pm, and I had just finished tutoring online. I was tired from classes, one-on-one sessions, and tutoring online all day. There was no way I was driving home in a blizzard.

Luck for me, my sister lived in the apartments on campus. I called her, and 15 minutes later I was watching a movie in her apartment with her and her roommate. After the credits started to roll, I noticed my sister was still staring at her computer. She hadn’t really touched the thing since I got there.

“Why are you staring at your computer like that?”

“Like what?” she said.

“Like it just spilled your darkest secret and you want to kill it.”

“I’m pissed off because I don’t know what else to write in this stupid paper! I’ve been working on it for 6 hours now!” she complained.

“6 hours? Sis, no undergraduate paper should take six hours.”

And I was back to tutoring just like that. My sister’s problem was something I run into with almost every student—she didn’t have a blueprint to build her paper. She had all the materials she needed to write an excellent paper, but they were put together all wrong.

I quickly took her step-by-step through the process of building each paragraph of a paper, and drew her an outline for the overall structure of the paper. Then, I told her to start the paper over. She started crying, but she took the outline and went to the study hall to rewrite her paper.

2 hours later, she came back with it finished. Two weeks later, she got it back from her teacher. She got an A on it.

 

 

My sister’s results are typical. I grant her that she has always been a good writer, but even good writers get lost in the blankness of the page from time to time.

You see the key to writing great papers in less time is to understand how great papers are built. If you know that, then all you have to do is fill in the details.

·         How to build an introduction paragraph, body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph

·         The truth about thesis statements (once you learn this the paper will practically write itself)

·         How to write each type of paper you are likely to encounter in college and outlines for each type

·         What math class can teach you about writing

·         A simple technique for writing in third person

·         How to quickly and easily create transition sentences

·         The truth about grammar and why it is one of the last things you should worry about

·         The absolute best time to write

 

·         Any much, much, more!
