So I'm usually not bad at essays, but this one is already driven me through the wall. It's overdue, and despite already knowing what I want to say every time I go to write it it's like my mind just says "no, you're not aloud"
I don't know this is my ADD or what, but it's driving me crazy and I just want it to be done and handed in and over with, and I don't want to have to drop the course because of one essay. I've write about half, but as soon as I realized I had gone over the word count, and still had a lot to say, I just haven't been able to write any more. I hate this because I love writing and I love essays, and I love the topic I'm writing on, and I know what I want to say and so far what I've got is really good, but I just CAN'T DO IT! I'm going to go play Mario64, get a star, then try again. Maybe Star Power might help...

I have the same problem and I think a few stars from Mario will help. Then maybe try this: If you only had five words to put down for your essay, what would they be? Don't make a sentence out of them - just pick five words and put them down. Then make each one a sentence and put them in the order you would choose. Then explain each sentence. If you're like me, your ADD will get you jumping from one to the next to the next - but at least you'll be building on your basic themes with all of it. When you reach your limit, stop. Cut where you need to and Bingo! Otherwise - have you tried Call of Duty? |

5 words? Other, Proper, Composed, Fear, "through the ages".
Wow. that actually just gave me a way to cut it down! Thanks! Lets see if I can get this done. (and no, I can't do shooters at all! Plus, all my systems are old school!)

Just wanted to let you know I eventualy got it done. It's not pefrect (150-200 words over count, + 4 days late = -8%) but it's done and in. I'm going to talk to my TA about it this upcoming week.
Thanks Izzy for the support. Your 5 words is what made me get it done.  It's a good tactic. Going to go play more Mario now!

Mario 64...man, good times there. First game I ever "beat."
 I'm glad you were able to get it finished.
