300 words isn't too bad so you should be fine. I'm a huge procrastinator, I usually start 10 page papers just a few hours before they're due haha

Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.


You're welcome

...I wrote several thousand words for a DnD campaign I'm running in a couple hours last night. Hell, I'm pretty sure the npc's monologue that I wrote is significantly longer than that.

I know you're just a troll who's gets his kicks out of absurd topics, but still. I bet people actually think this.

...You really shouldn't have monologues that long already written out.

For the past 8 months I've been working on approximately 400 pages of documentation at work, possibly more.

300 words?

The shortness sounds like the hardest part. No offence intended, but making a 300 word essay that uses the proper essay conventions will be harder for me then making say, a 2000 word one.

But in all seriousness, you really should have finished it before now. Especially at that length.
By the way, just to show how small 300 words is. This post is already 36 percent of it (including the stuff after this). With a quick intro and short summary at the end. You'd be looking at maybe 200 words for a main body. And I doubt you'd need more than two of those.

300 words can be considered an essay?

That's like, the homework assignment you get when your Writ 101 instructor didn't have anything to assign, but the grade book is lacking homework assignments and everyone is failing the course. They give you their unpublished short story and ask you to write a short analysis on "what it means", so that he can give everyone an easy A and boost the class average.

Normally I just improv it, but short of killing someone in the very next session, they can't avoid me getting up on my soap box and talking for 15 minutes.

In most circumstances though, you are 100% correct. It's a colossal waste of time. Even this one, I left it a bit open ended at some parts as I know they'll interrupt me as I'm going through it.

Does that... does that work for you?
I know I have roughly 3-4 sentences before players won't remember half of what I said.

My playgroup remembers things better than I do sometimes. I don't do long monologues often (only when there's a major shift in the story usually), and they typically seem to like them.

The trick is to make it at least somewhat interactive. If they can respond to one or two things during the speech, they'll usually pay way closer attention.

Been a murder, over in Riften. Some old lady who runs an orphanage. Those poor children must be heartbroken.
