Good thinking.

It's easier to make a larger document smaller, than the other way around. I would start with a mind map, where you just jot down any word that relates to the topic on a few pieces of paper. Then pick like the best 30 words and make them into about 2 pages of writing, then strip that down to one. Then in one condensed page you will have all your best material.

I can't agree with this more. You know how people always say it's what's in the essay that matters, and if they know what you're trying to say then it's fine?

Those people lied.

I've had countless teachers, bosses, even the lawyer that my mom works for tell me that even if someone has the best ideas, incorrect spelling and grammar detract.

I never knew how many adults can't read or write properly. Good ol' US public school system...
