Papers


We've all had to do them: term papers, reports, etc. Why, just last night, I was helping daughter #2 on some "1,200 word essay" she had due. My advice to her when faced with a case of writer's block was just to wade in and start writing. Sure, it may be crappy, but things tend to crystallize a little once you get going. At least, that will typically work when faced with a high school English teacher. Along those lines, you may enjoy this, from Wilson Quarterly: some priceless stuff: http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=wq.essay&essay_id=454174.
