HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME WRITE AN ESSAY!!!!
I have the topic, I have the sources, I have the intro and the thesis. I don’t know what to write, I can’t gather my ideas together or even sort one out.
I went to the writing lab, it helped (I wrote the inro and the thesis), but they can’t tell me what to put in the essay.
By the way, it’s 7-10 page critical paper, and my intro is 1.5 pages.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you sound panicked.
first of all, my appologies to you for the tardiness of my response. it was either answers these questions or write my essays, so . . . let’s just say i got mine in on time. is this coming too late? your intro should be about 1/5 of the paper length. do you have an outline? what can i tell you that the writing centre hasn’t?
what works for me when i am stuck is leaving it for a time (a day an hour 10 minutes, depending on how long i’ve procrastinated), then make a perfect cup of coffee, sit down, chant my mantra, clear my mind of questions, feel the force flowing inside of me, and then begin. let it flow baby, let it flow. a paper is wild, man, like a coyote in the dessert. it goes where it wants to.
sounds like you have to forget about writing the paper, and just do it. this is a deeply metaphysical art. let the paper form inside of you. then set your watch and write 500 words an hour. if you have all the info already, it should be no prob.
cheers,
