I feel really stupid.....it was over 40 years ago when I went to see the play "glass menagerie" & read the play, but I can't remember a bit about what went on in it.

I had years of english & writing in college, getting my degree even though it was a technical degree in Computer Science & business accounting. I also did years of technical writing once I had my career as an engineer. Had to write many papers & presentations to the military about the projects I was on.

The best way to start any essay is to list all the items & details you want to hit on & ideas you want to present in your paper. From there, I usually arranges those items into groups of ideas & put those thoughts down. I would write the parts as they came to me & then put the beginning & ending down as I thought of things also.

It takes finding a method that works for you, & gives you a way to put your thoughts together. I found this method works for almost anything I do.....it's just an organizational process. I always kept a piece of paper around me & would write down thoughts as they come to me.

Hope this may help a bit.....I do know how frustrating writing can be. Good luck,
Debbie
