  • A Great SAT Essay Is Like A Great Piece of Music?

    By Neil Chyten, founder of The Chyten Center

    “If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.”
    — Author Anais Nin

    Writing great essays is not a lost art form. It is often, however, buried deep within a student’s creative mind or held in check by the student’s own fear of stepping over some imaginary boundary that separates creativity from convention. The secret to great writing is a simple one: “Write as if you were creating a symphony.”
