Found a free essay writer tool that actually helps? 🤔

I'm a freshman at a community college and writing has NEVER been my strong suit. Like, I stare at the blank Google Doc for hours and my brain just... doesn't work. 😭 My roommate told me to just use ChatGPT to write my whole essay and be done with it, but that felt wrong? Plus my professor literally said in the syllabus they have AI detection software now.

Anyway, I was procrastinating (as one does) and stumbled on something called free essay writer tools online. I was super skeptical because everything "free" usually means you get spam emails forever or the tool is useless. But I found this one called "Clara" that was actually created by a Stanford student and it's completely free . It doesn't write the essay FOR you—it asks you guiding questions like "What emotions do you want to evoke?" or "How will you support your argument?" and helps you brainstorm. It's like having a writing tutor at 2am when the writing center is closed. 🥲

I also found out my college's writing center is free (duh, I pay tuition) and they do 30-minute sessions for brainstorming and 60-minute sessions for longer papers . I always thought writing centers were just for fixing grammar, but apparently they help with EVERY stage—thesis statements, outlines, even understanding the assignment prompt. Game changer.

Has anyone else used legit free essay writer resources that aren't sketchy? Not looking for someone to write my paper (I'm not tryna get expelled), but tools that actually help me write better. Drop your recommendations below! 🙏

Also PSA: Grammarly has a free version that catches my comma splices because apparently I overuse commas like crazy .

I was ready to roll my eyes at "free essay writer tool" because 99% of them are either plagiarism mills or data harvesters. But Clara actually sounds legit—a tool that asks questions instead of generating text? That's not cheating, that's scaffolding. It's like having a tutor in your pocket.

Your point about writing centers is huge too. Most freshmen don't realize they're not just for fixing errors. They'll help you brainstorm, outline, even talk through ideas before you write a single word. And it's FREE because you already paid for it with tuition.

Also, Grammarly catching comma splices? Same. I didn't know what a comma splice was until Grammarly yelled at me 47 times in one paper. 😂
