I have a writing sample on file but it’s the old format, should I do argumentative writing?

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

12:30

I think format is less important than demonstrating that you can write well unassisted

it was probably bad cause i was working full time on the hill and smoking way too much weed to handle all the stress

My understanding is that they basically want to make sure you can string sentences together unassisted—not even good arguments, flow, etc.—but I figure better safe than sorry
