Just Do It.

Question: What process do you use when writing your weekly essays? What's your first step? Second step? Etc.? How do you develop your thesis statement? What problems do you frequently encounter?


Answer: I usually start by thinking of which three subtopics I can talk about. Then I find a way to incorporate that into a thesis statement and Then I just write in the order of the thesis statement while also looking for quotes that can help prove my argument. Then I change the thesis statement because I have a different idea on how to write the paper. Then I sleep (Thats the effect these papers have on me). Wake up. Then I eat ( I need Power food to survive the torture of writing the paper) Then I finish typing the paper.
The problems I usually have:
-Simply doing the paper.
-Thinking of literary terms for the thesis statement.
-Writing the thesis statement
-Organizing thoughts.
-Doing the paper the night before it is due.
-Staying awake to write the paper.
