its just stream of consciousness (if you're doing discursive), with some techniques shoved in and I always like to add some literary allusions (I've watched/read LOTR so many times I know the script and always find a spot to pop a LOTR quote in)
Me with radiohead. I always reference or quote a radiohead lyric.

i mean my discursive was about radiohead. I try and inject this band into absolutely everything i do nesa will feel the absolute WRATH of thom yorke

and use a lot of 'show not tell' in your response along with a lot of figurative language, then they'll love you
Im just going to write something simmilar to what i did in my mod c. Gonna be…adaptable…

Yea I do that but my mind is too left brained so I think too logically (like Christopher if you know you know), and then I end up talking about the steps to reach the effect like you would in math, but then I go off on tangents, I'm literally CHRISTOPHER BOONE.
Man i wish i was like that! My brain is too englishy, and then i overthink the question because i notice a squillion things at once. So either way…timed essays are never a fun time!

ya thats my plan. use all my reading time to GLANCE at the essay question and plan really thoroughly for short response. finish short 5-10 mini early and start on the essay asap getting a really decent intro
That is a solid plan, intros always take about 300 years to do

the one ive memorised ive used for a 20 mark in trials, 20 in ext and a 10 internally lol! Its around 800 words? I can add more on the day depending on the stim for a 20 to get it to 1k. Its too long for a 10 but this story is literally my child and theres not much I can take out of it sooo. I can write it in 25 mins tho so I should have enough time if theres a justification

800 in 25 is cooked. Bruh I can only do 500 in 20...Though I can really relate to the story being your child, I'm also quite proud of how my story ended up.

That 500 in 20 is also the fastest I can write, I think its because we memorise the creative and that we enjoy the narrative
