<p>I am writing an essay about a meaningful activity that I have done for many years. There are many experiences from throughout these years that I think would make for great essay topics. I want to fuse these into one experience for the sake of space limits. In other words, I'd like to write the essay as if it were one experience that happened on one day, but include elements from what were in reality multiple experiences spread out. I want to fuse lessons and realizations I've had over a time into one ideal experience to tell like a story. Is there anything wrong with this (my only concern is that the exact experience I'm going to write about in my essay never actually happened, instead its been a combination of things that would be way too long for one essay.</p>
<p>Whatever you want as long as its an accurate reflection of your persona.
It might be a little sketch if the "experience" is winning some award or competition but as long as the "experiences" are somewhat benign, commonplace events there's probably no issue.</p>
<p>Someone back me up though.</p>
<p>yea the experiences are basically realizations i've had that were brought about by my activities over many years. In reality, I realized them gradually over a long period of times, although there were several 'sparks' or 'mini-ephiphanies' if you will. In essence, I want to elaborate on one of these and maybe embellish with some experiences that didn't happen all at once</p>

<p>bump again....</p>
<p>bump------</p>
<p>I don't understand the corrolation between the lenghth of real time and the length of the essay ...</p>
<p>If time and experience are key to the "mini-epiphanies" along the way, I think the essay would actually be stronger if you reinforced that instead of trying to consdense it which might make it seem more superficial. That doesn't mean the essay itself has to be any longer.</p>
