@Lee249 This is such a great reminder about all the effort that actually goes into preparing and researching before you even write an essay! In fact, I often find that I spend so much more time researching and planning than I do writing and editing. Also, the longer I spend on the first bit, the better my essay tends to be 😂.
Obviously everyone has different working styles and strategies, (eg some people prefer to research a little, write, research, edit instead of doing lots of research > writing), but I think it's so important to recognise that just because something doesn't have a tangible result immediately, doesn't mean that it won't end up being super helpful later!!
