<p>Okay when I write an essay or something I just can not bring myself to read the essay I wrote! Like I just can't no matter how hard I try!! It's almost like my OCD! What should I do to get over this? ANYTHING will help Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>
There ya go.</p>
<p>But seriously, I didn’t like going back and reading my college application essays, because I rushed them and knew they weren’t my best. But if you need to correct something, just think of how much better it will be after. Try to get in an editing mode, separate from a writing mode.</p>
<p>Take an hour to a day break from writing your essay to editing it. Force yourself to do it.</p>
<p>Or give your essay to a teacher or adult or peer and read it aloud to them; or have them read it out loud to you.</p>
<p>Or see a shrink…IDK?</p>
<p>I actually feel the same way…and the ironic thing is that I edit for a literary magazine, telling people their smallest mistakes. </p>
<p>But sassmaster’s tips sound great!</p>
<p>Thank you everyone!!</p>

This is the exact reason I started this thread, I gave an essay I wrote for a scholarship and she said that it was way to rough for her to go on and she handed back and told me to go over it myself first</p>
<p>bump please help</p>
