Noctis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm a pretty fast writer, so I hopefully can have it done by Thursday morning/early afternoon so I can have a few hours to edit and polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I usually drink a bunch of energy drinks while writing a long piece. They have the most useful effect on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The hardest thing about sitting down and writing a long piece is just staying focused on the damn thing. I'd go to a coffee shop or something to limit distractions. But yeah it should be doable.Haha, that's so true. I'll be going to the library. I don't like going to coffee shops because I spend too much time drinking and listening to music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoore Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Can someone answer this random question for me? I have a research paper due in 80 hours.I've got almost all the sources. I'm gonna find a few more, which won't take too much time since it's about how money is used/spent/wasted in the presidential election.But the essay is around 15 pages double-spaced. If I have all the sources, finished the introduction, and made an outline about how I'll write the body...would it take less than 48 hours to complete?I've knocked out 15 page research papers in 24 hours or less before, but no breaks. You have the luxury of giving yourself rest breaks - definitely take advantage of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah, I should focus on not being distracted. I mean, honestly, six hours of pure writing should allow a great deal of it to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I just read that Japan and Mexico releases of TDKR were cancelled. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddddeeee Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've never been able to do long periods of work. If I've an assignment due in a weeks time I'd spread it fairly evenly over a week. If I ever tried to squash the work into the last minute I'd panic about getting writer's block. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Honestly, I work best when I'm under pressure. I'm not sure if that makes much sense. I will have a few moments where I'll panic, but I usually get it out of the way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The tragedy killed my excitment about the gross of TDKR I'm sure 500m is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 We can speculate what might have happened, but the numbers are what they will be. As the last few days have shown, there are more important things in life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 23, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) For anyone that still cares, a lot of industry sources are being asked not to cite the tragic shooting when analyzing the lower-than-expected box office take for the weekend (though I doubt everyone will oblige that -- we, however, will). No one will ever know how much of an effect it had exactly, but its pretty clear that there was some at least. Just food for thought before making too many assumptions about the film's performance. This is unprecedented territory for everyone.Again, for anyone who still cares. If this weekend taught us anything, its how utterly insignificant box office grosses are compared to human life.

Killimano3 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well if TDKR ends up under 500m I feel like its going to become a popular movie debate in the future about what would have happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
