Dear past-Danielle,
I really wish you had known more about writing research papers before you started writing this one. You greatly underestimated the amount of time and effort it would take to write a clear, well-written paper about Princess Diana’s death.
First, you grossly underestimated how long it would take you to complete the annotated bibliography, which was only the first step of a long process. It took you around a week, give or take, to find your sources and annotate them. By the end of the paper, you hadn’t even used the annotated sources more than once. I hope you know how long it takes to write a sufficient annotated bibliography, as well as how much effort will be required. You also miscalculated how long it would take to complete the outline in a way that made sense. The purpose of the outline was to literally outline what you wanted to say in each paragraph. You clearly didn’t know just how much writing there was to be done. It took you a few days to figure out how you wanted to say what you said. Just know that the outline is easy if you know what you’re trying to say, and exactly what you’re trying to argue.
Well, past-Danielle, I truly hope you’ve taken my advice into close consideration. If you do, the process of writing your conspiracy theory essay will go very quickly. Please, know that writing your annotated bibliography will go smoothly if you know what to search for, and that you need to know exactly what you’re arguing in order to quickly finish the outline portion of the process.
Good luck!
Present/future-Danielle
