If you have problems with cranking out more than two pages of text, writing several drafts doesn't seem to be the best advice, neither is taking a lot of time, because you can't do much with it anyway. In fact, both advices can make it even harder for somebody with the problem in question. Note, that I wrote "can" there, because I don't believe that any kind of advice regarding that topic is universal. If you found a method in coming up with texts that works for you [which might include getting laid and / or drunk] - stick with it. If the "organize everything, write multiple drafts, take your time" method works for you, that's okay.
I was merely implying, that I've always perceived you as an individual that might belong to the group of people suffering from procrastination. And I know, that those people sometimes need the pressure generated by a lack of time in order to excel at what they do. I may be wrong, though.
But then, I don't even get, why people would actually study a subject that they can't crank out more than two pages about. Usually, one should have something to say / write about the field of "expertise" one has chosen, otherwise one might be wasting time with the wrong subject.
Just my 2 cents.
Well unfortunately there aren't any college courses on whether Sidious could defeat Bane (nope), otherwise you bet your ass we could write more than 2 pages.
Unfortunately I seem to be the type that needs the pressure. Maybe not to excel but to actually do anything to begin with. Damn the internet and its addictiveness.
It hurts a bit that my Creative Writing course turned out to be more of a Literature Study/Media Study/English History with some creative writing course.

You guys make me scared of College. I was never able to write a paper longer than two pages in High School.

I was merely implying, that I've always perceived you as an individual that might belong to the group of people suffering from procrastination.
But as I've said before, I almost exclusively work in the last few hours (or minutes, for assignments of < 700 words) before work is due. This is manageable except when I have three 2000-4000 word assignments on disparate topics due within a span of eighteen hours. Work on a seventeen page research paper assigned five weeks before the due date should not commence the afternoon of the due date, particularly when two ~ eight page papers are due by noon the next day. Drafting/proofreading these things for maximum quality takes time, to say absolutely nothing of the actual research needing to get done.

I'd be careful if I were you blax, RH's favorite game with the men is grab ass.
Its an interesting issue imo.
