The difficulty of writing an essay largely depends on the type of essay (Narrative, Descriptive, Expository, and Persuasive being the main types) and the writerâ€™s experience with the topic. Writing an effective Persuasive essay is usually the most difficult. Before determining which type of essay to write, you need a thesis statement (topic sentence, if you prefer), which is just a statement of your Topic with a Controlling Idea. The Controlling Idea will help you to deduce which type of essay would best present your message.

Google your thesis statement to see whether other publications exist. If they do, then read them to determine whether your experience is different and worth writing a complementary or contrasting essay (citing those pubs). Modify your Controlling Idea to accommodate this. You can find ideas for a thesis at Stack Overflow; try the â€œhotâ€ page.

I recommend The Craft of Research, by Booth, Colomb, and Williams, as a reference for writing essays of science and engineering research (not to be confused with Technical Writing--different objectives).
