/me joins the short essay club with Nan and CC. Yeah, I know what you're thinking - she writes L&C stories that never seem to end! But at school and university I hated writing essays. Whether factual or fiction, I was always struggling to write more than a paragraph or two. My first 3,000 essay at university nearly killed me. Spent most of my time counting words and trying to find ways to pad it out - mind you, are there really 3,000 words one can write on early British music? wink
