    Damn you killed it this week! That bonus though!

    Do you need any help with the rejections?

    Have you emailed them the link to the reversal instructions?

    Or is it an Amazon no reply requester?

    Let me know and again really good job.

    LOL. YES. Judging from my discussion with my classmates a lot of them will be writing their final paper like the day before its due. My rough draft is due in Tuesday and I went ahead and just wrote the whole damn thing because why not. People love to procrastinate though. You'll have takers I bet.

    Yeah my experience is that when I put 'proofreading' the kids think 'writing'. I don't know if my last translator was having me on or what... from what I've heard my experience is not unique.

    i always procrastinate. But I do try to work on my homework or papers as early as possible. My problem is that when it comes to academic writing, it just takes me FOREVER to get something written because I literally have to sit and think for the longest while possible until something comes to me.

    For only 1.99, I'll proofread everything you already proofread.

    It's a steal, I promise.

    My best advice with that is to just start writing, by hand if you can.

    Rough drafts are always crap, and physically writing helps jog your thought process.

    Whenever I'm hitting a wall at work, I just retreat to a comfy chair with my legal pad and start writing absolute junk that gets me started.

    The key to good writing is not the 1st draft, it's the edits.

    When I had to write papers, I would always make detailed outlines with like, the quotes I would use or points I would make, whatever.

    Man, it made writing the actual paper so much easier, cause I already had the thought process and relevant points down.
