I always thought writing essays was the stupidest part of any class because it's entirely up to the teacher's viewpoint on whether the essay was good or not. I finally had a prof in college that REQUIRED us to have a meeting with him with our first draft in hand so that he could critique them before actually turning them in for grading, and suddenly it became so much easier to get good grades on essays.
Tbh I haven’t written an outline or rough draft since I was required to in high school. They always irritated me, and I’d rather just write it out in full and edit as needed afterward
...yes it literally does lol. Pressing save doesn't magically create a check point or something. You literally said you write it all out then go back. It doesn't matter if you do this in one sitting.
