The professor said that the paper should be between 1000-1500 words.

I'm nearly done, and I'm at about 900.

I feel that I've answered the question. If I write more, I might start contradicting or second guessing myself.

I am the terror that flaps in the night.
I am Darkwing Duck.

It might be obvious that I'm missing a good part of my essay.

I am the terror that flaps in the night.
I am Darkwing Duck.

I know in my freshman year I've gotten away with tons of essays that were short of the required length, but it's not always a guarantee.  Better safe than sorry.
