Yep! I love to write, I just haven't written a well-constructed essay in some time. Don't want my skills to become too rusty.

why in the world do u want your essay skills to stay sharp?

Why wouldn't I?

This is a great idea Orsorum. :beer: Previously, before entering college, I would loathe essays even though I got some version of an A on just about all of them. Now with one year past me, and having a rather discriminating professor, it's quite a thrill each time. I found out that my grammar is up to par as I thought it was and in particular sentance structure. My biggest problem is procrastination: I would wait until hours before the essay is due and then not have time to thoroughly proofread them. I was planning to stick myself in the public library and do some research for a self created essay topic but alas, I blame the heat .

Write about the Flying Tigers in World War II, I am a WW2 history nut and they are so much fun to read about.

WWII history
-causes
Military strategy
-more survey reading - Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, Zhuge Liang, etc.

Personally, those topics would interest me most. Lots of resources out there.

Howbout the evolution, or erosion, of hand-to-hand combat in military combat training from the earliest of armies, its future outlook based on the recent trend of close-quarters urban warfare, and the psychological effects of a close-range kill for the soldier?

I could probably do an entire book just on the psychological effects of warfare. Oooh, ideas. How the psychological effects of close-range combat have changed throughout history.

It is only in the writing of this essay that the meaning of life will finally be revealed. The key is the number 42.
