i wish i had some secrets to evince, but i can tell you what i did.
Utilize last 20 days because what you experience and read in these days will eventually be translated into paper.
I have an inherent pejudice against newspapers. I do not read even a single word from newspaper lest i should catch the disease of sounding like a reporter.
I did not clutter papers with headings. (Just intro, body, conclusion)
I tried to write as simple as i could. No quotes etc. Just wrote relevant and generated my own ideas at that very moment. That is all i have. Other members are welcome to share their experiences and insights too.
