<p>How long should it be? I notice there's no length maximum there, and mine is like 7 pages (I'm adapting it from a longer essay I wrote for school) which I sense is way too long. What's a good goal?</p>
<p>500-750 words (about 1 page) =/</p>
<p>start cutting.</p>
<p>i would say 1000 is the max, aim at 750</p>
<p>cut away lol</p>
<p>1 page single spaced i assume. . . it was 7 pages double so not quite as bad as it sounds.</p>
<p>There is no official word limit,simply a minimum. However, an extremely long paper may mean you are including too much information. I read in a book guiding one in writing a fiction novel that 25% of what we write is useless and may be removed...</p>
<p>I suggest that you have an English teacher or other educated professional read over your essay to ensure that it is not excessive.</p>
<p>However, congratulations on your writing prolificacy, I have yet to write one word. :D</p>
<p>Note that I am adapting it from something I already wrote.</p>
