Death to one draft

As a high school student, I grew accustomed to writing a paper in only one draft. I was able to sit down in a night or two and simply churn out an essay start to finish without much problem. Given the topics we had to write about, this was always possible. The topics were very straight forward and did not have much depth to them. This is why the "sit down and write" approach worked.

In college I know that this will no longer work. The topics, and the works they are on, are much more in depth. They were crafted with some degree of skill that takes at least some thought to create a decent thesis statement.

So far I have had two opportunities to write papers for my core class, the material too was Plato. The topic on top of that was very in depth, as Plato would deserve. I am going to have to start refining a writing process to pass these papers and my classes from here on out.
