6-7 for creative maybe?

around 12 for critical- meh, I'm a slow and small writer... I could write a 40 pg essay on crime fiction if I had the time, lol

15 pages for the Essay
9 pages for the Creative, I fucked up the creative cause I didn't get to finish it... just as I was adding in my real Sci-fi twist, the woman says-- "Put down your pen"

There is nothing I wouldn't have given for 5 extra minutes.... <cries>

What is the point in comparing at all?

You can compare pages, but then people have drastically varied handwriting.

You can compare words, but then again some people write alot of useless bullshit, while others use (hahaha) "lexically dense" phrasing to get their point across.

Sounds like a fucking circle jerk to me.

Btw, 11 for essay, 8 for compo :uhhuh: .

8 for essay..
7 for creative writing..
it seems like everyone from my school wrote about the same number of pages, and we're all pretty smart girls.. so I wonder if we were taught differently somehow, or whether its just a coincidence.. hmm.
About 8 or 9 words per line, so 2520 or 2835 words all together.
Not so confident though.. I always feel like Ive got the worst structure in these essays. And I'm not all about pre-prepared essays.. especially ones that weren't written by the person. Does ANYONE else feel like it's cheating? I know if they wrote it, its esssentially like 'study', but, bah, I don't know...

*trails off*..

there is, however, nothing wrong with using a pre-prepared essay written by yourself.
i've done it every single assessment task for the last 2 years, and have not gone wrong. so i guess it just depends

Crime Fiction

8 for creative.
8 and a half for analyitical.

I use 20 lines per page and write about 9 words to the line, therefore:
1440 words for creative.
1530 words for analyitical.

Words provide a more accurate account, lets see more word counts.

Could have writen more for analytical if I had more time. Story was just about right length.
