Critical Review Writing.

When it comes to essay writing I'm like many people I hate doing them because I always seem to struggle to get started, then when it comes to include all the relevant information within the amount of words specified again
I seem to have problems. Its not something I've ever been great at but I have discover a couple of helpful websites that have at least improved my essay writing skills and given me more confidence in my abilities in this department.

http://lklivingston.tripod.com/essay/
Gives very basic structure ideas but found it to be surprisingly helpful.

http://www.essay-writing-tips.com/
A little more detailed then the first site, used before in my last course to help with my piece on the ethics behind digital manipulation. Really helpful.

http://www.studentnow.com/features/essayswritingtips.html
Offers bullet points on ways to improve your writing and research skills.

These are just a couple of the many hundreds of sites that are out there but these three I found the most useful personally. The major things I've learned is that clear planning and plenty of research are the bases of a good essay, brainstorming diagrams I found where a great way to break down the subject in my case Ansel Adams into smaller sub sections and then take my cues when writing from these. Its a approach I found work in my case I'm not saying its for everyone but its finding the best way to work personally.
