<p>I took time to write it, but I didn’t take long to edit it. I would write it carefully, check it to make sure I didn’t need to rewrite any or elaborate, and then check for errors, typos, etc. in one night; it worked for me. That way, I didn’t go paranoid over it, but I also made sure it was good as well.</p>
<p>Huh. I spent so long editing it was crazy. I literally spent three times the time editing than I did writing it.</p>
<p>Well, I spent a while editing it in terms of style and writing and not a lot of time reading over it for grammar. Two different approaches, but they worked!</p>
<p>Haha, yeah, they did. I read it over, and over, and over, then deleted the whole essay, and then redid it, repeated that process like five times. :)</p>
