This is what a literary essay in work looks like:
Mrsbear Outnumbered
Professor Wispy Hair
LIT 4321

<Insert Title Here>
This is the beginning of my paper about The Novel We Read. This is where I put my thesis statement. This is where I put my supporting statements.
The rest of my paper will go here, in subsequent paragraphs where I continue to prove my argument.
This is yet another succinct and well thought out paragraph that is full of nuance and insight.
This paragraph is more solid than the last. I am wowing the reader with my powers of persuasion and indisputable evidence to corroborate my theories.
This is the paragraph where I tie it all together with a flourish. The reader is moved to tears. This is the part where the professor decides to give me an A+ only because there is no higher estimation with which to judge my sublime work.
<The End>
I’m pretty sure tacking <The End> on after the conclusion would guarantee at least a ten point deduction.
I should probably put a little more time into my research, a little less time into my creative delays.
I need to write a journal article soon. Can I use your outline? It’s perfect.
Creative delays will actually increase work output by 10%, therefore reducing the amount of time on the project. True story! *
*Actual research confirming this theory is still being tested as the team behind it is playing Angry Birds…
I did so much of this sort of planning in my head when I was looking to write back in college. I don’t think I formalized it by writing it down, but this was my thought process.
Nice outline though, at least you have you goals neatly defined.

Procrastinator!
If you can formulate your essay as beautifully as your pretend essay, you’ll get that A+!!
I’m rather impressed by your creativity and the fact that you managed to map out a working outline. Now go write that brilliant essay!!

I can’t believe you wrote a post about procrastinating WHILE you were procrastinating. Shame shame, I know your name. Glad you got around to doing the paper though.
