There is a myth about writing that is likely killing your ability to write your college application essay.  And today, we’re going to debunk it.  And once debunked, it will clear a path to your writing a much better essay.  This will be a real game changer, so let’s get started!
 
Hi, It’s Howard from EssayDog, the fastest and most effective way to write your college application essays.  And today we are going to debunk a myth that will change everything you’ve ever thought about writing and might even free you up to write a better, more engaging essay.
 
The myth goes something like this: "My essay is going to stink because… I’m just not a good writer."         

Do you have any idea how many millions of people are probably walking around believing this, including adults who have completed their education and are out there in the working world.
 
It’s horrible!  Because this myth can really hold you back and make the whole process of writing a sad, miserable experience.  And we don’t want that.
 
So let me explain a little about this myth – this bunk - and let’s debunk it.
 
Let me break it down for you.  People go through the following thought process: 

"When the creator of the universe was giving out talent, some kids got the ability to play pianos concertos at age 6, some were able to understand complex math at age 9 and others grew to 7 feet by 13 and could dunk a ball and throw 3 pointers.  And then there are those who were given the gift of being a natural writer.  But none of those are me."
 
Because I didn’t get the writing gift, I’m destined to be bad at writing.
 
While it comes easier to some people than others, it is in no way a talent that you will either have or you won’t have for your entire life.    In fact, it is a skill that you can develop.  Take a look:
 
Writing has 2 parts – technical proficiency: can you spell, use proper grammar, structure a sentence – that’s important and it’s something your teachers and counselors can help you with.  The other component is storytelling: The ability to draw your readers in, get them engaged and vested in the outcome, and have them relate to and connect with the characters.
 
But, like, how do you do that?  Well, you could buy a bunch of books on storytelling and learn the fundamentals, you could take writing classes or find on-line videos and synthesize those lessons into what you need to do for your essay –
 
Or you could go to EssayDog.com right now and learn as you actually create your essay.  At EssayDog, we don’t teach storytelling, we guide you through a process that will have you off the blank page and onto a winning essay in minutes, using quick, easy to follow videos.  You literally learn by doing.  You’ll build your story piece by piece, gaining valuable insight and understanding into the storytelling process by actually writing your story.

And, as we always say, the college application essay is a story – a story colleges want to read about you.  You want to tell that story in the best possible way.
 
So you see, writing can actually be something you can excel at – and we at EssayDog want to help you.
