[Q]: M: I know, Jenny, it's a huge project - researching. thinking of an argument and then finding details that show the argument is true. W: That part only took me one week. But writing and rewriting,and then deleting and writing again ...that's killing me! M: That part didn't bother me. W: What's your secret? M: I write an outline: a basic plan of what I'm going to say.
