COLLEGE ESSAYS & TEST PREP
CREATIVE ESSAYS
​​​​“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life,
every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.”
-Virginia Woolf
​A blue pencil is used by writers for editing manuscripts and other written copy, as well as by animation and sketch artists – giving it both practical and imaginative qualities. Blue pencils are useful for editing manuscripts as the blue color is easily seen, making edits stand out. For sketches or animation, the particular shade of blue used would not show up on a copy or photo, minimizing the need to erase and ensuring that the process is fluid. Let your college essay be the one to stand out from the stacks of essays admission officers read. Unleash your creativity through an imaginative process, remain open to edits, reordering, and finding inspiration to come up with the best possible expression of yourself.
