<p>I always ask multiple people. The majority of the answers are what you can read in the initial post save for the ND one, where the results are mixed. </p>
<p>And some of the colleges have released. ND has, IDK about anywhere else.</p>
<p>Wait, what do you mean “shot down” ? And by someone you trust, or… Maybe you need a better reader-- not that the criticisms might not be apt-- but a good reader might help you find a more positive way of making your point, help you consider why you’re interested in “the parts no one cares about”-- that sounds promising to me, as if you care about something unusual that might be worth telling others about.</p>
<p>I wrote my best essays under pressure. I can usually get a 2 page single spaced essay done in 20 minutes with the right pressure. Just put a timer on for 60 min and what ever you get out of those 60 min is your essay. Do this multiple times. What helps when I am writing is to imagine my self as a different person helps to change the view point. Stupid but it works for example don’t your remember when you were like 5 and things your parents nagged about like take a bath, tuck in your shirt and eat your vegetables probably drove you nuts but now that you are older you understand why and it doesnt seem so stupid. This might not work for you but it works for me. </p>
