I have officially mastered the art of the three hour, seven page research paper. I've done it twice this week. One turned out great, the other one...well...we'll see. I probably shouldn't be proud of this, but I suppose it will help to have this skill whenever I have a research paper that I really don't care about while I'm really sick of going to school (In other words, probably next fall and winter).

Now if you can cut it down to a 30-minute, 15-inch article, you can be an underpaid journalist!

I do the same thing with my short stories. I can get a full 10 page story done in 2 hours...Only problem is it's always first draft quality stuff. The hard part is always getting myself to sit down and re-write it having figured out what the story actually IS.
Oh yeah, Cay, I've done that before. Except it was for the school paper, so I was actually an unpaid journalist

Actually, as soon as I made that first post, I thought to myself, "well, that was redundant." (underpaid journalist)

The difficult thing is finding three hours to myself to write the fiction.
I've got three hours of free time, but they're interspersed out through the whole day in 10 minute increments.
