@Olórin @SmugSnugInARug @Marcus_Aurelius @UndergradDad @BabyFarmer Thank you all for all of this very helpful advice. I am so appreciative of all of your time in responding.

I have currently been struggling with writing longer term papers. My short 2-3 page papers are usually good, clear and concise. But when moving towards longer 15-20 page papers, I have been struggling to stay patient. Does anyone have any advice for how to stay clear and concise when writing longer work?

Is it OK to apply to PhD programs after only 1 semester of MA work to begin the PhD program the following academic year? Or does this look bad since one is not finishing the MA program?
