This article seems like a necessary reading before beginning to tackle a huge paper! I've already learned new ways to get my thinking ball rolling when I cant think of something to write, or if I have half of my idea but not the rest, I kind of know how to find the rest now. You've got to read or write or outline to start producing good ideas. Free writing and reading rhetorically as well as outlining or creating a bullet list can help to organize and gather thoughts, ideas, information, or anything that could possibly be a part of this long essay ...that you don't think you'll ever get through!! I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous for this paper because it has to be just about 8 pages !! But I know that if I read all of the material and follow along in class, I can get through the paper. The most important thing is to have all my ideas in order and make sure everything goes together smoothly.
forming ideas..... oh great, I'm stuck !..... Free write time can help !.... Let me read a book.......
