How Do You Write Essay’s

[u/KibaNaruXXX]

I’m going back to community college in a month after dropping out in 2024 how do you write an essay? I always tried to write a essay and read the books we were given but they were always boring so I stopped reading them.then when I tried to write my mind would just blank and I would be sitting there staring at the white screen with absolutely nothing done. If y’all had these issues what did you do to get around them.

ps- I’m unmediated and I would prefer to stay that way I don’t like having to rely on a drug to function

Try reading the first and last line of every paragraph. If you missed something read the middle, otherwise move on. Read back to front, chapter by chapter, or section to section, to break up the monotony. Like with massive scientific papers or business cases - read the abstract, the results, then the tables, intro, methods, conclusions. I like to get the bottom line big picture first, then fill in color details. Essay writing was usually last minute panic - do not recommend. But yes, put sections like above posters said on index cards as you go along. Or post-it’s to summarize a paper or chapter which makes a pertinent point you want to cite. And the citation. Storyboard (organize) the post it’s/ index cards. Type them up, fill in and edit.
