Wow guys, I was not expecting anything nearly in-depth as that. Thanks so much!

See, my main problem is that I am just not a speed writer one bit. I'm the kind of person that writes 10 rough drafts on 10 separate days before I turn in a paper. I really have difficulty brain storming my ideas, making an outline, writing the draft, and editing, all in 45 minutes. Any tips on what could help me do better on this, besides of course a lot of practicing? I noticed one of you said structure is very important. Would it be safe to say that having a clearly defined thesis, 3 organized paragraphs (or possibly 2 since I often can't finish 3 in 45 minutes) with no grammatical/spelling errors, and a brief conclusion would give me a passing grade, even if my content isn't especially good (assuming I stay on topic of course)?
