far beyond masta scribbla status

Here's the kind of blog you needed. It´s packed full with specific information about C1 writing tests at EOI and  links to ESL webpages which provide juicy tips, exercises, real C1 feedback, sample tests- you name it... All of that to get you up to speed on the different writing formats you are expected to be familiar with. That new year's resolution whereby you'd be becoming a proficient English writer will now seem feasible rather than that ever retreating dream of old.
