Ugh... Weekend

So this essay.... I wouldn't say I'm ready to tackle it just yet. I just picked my topic (Why Americans should take more holidays and longer vacations) and am slightly unsure of where I should be headed. I suppose I'll start by looking at Jake's but my main concern is time. This is a sucky weekend to have to worry about an essay.

    I know what you mean. I feel kind of lost right now about this but hopefully when I begin writing everything will fall into place.

    I am terrified to really dive into my essay because it will either flow well or I will be stumped... and I am afraid of the latter so I am doing the mature thing and avoiding the topic ;)

    I'm worried my topic's not intersting enough:/

    Bre, I am doing the exact same thing and really really avoiding thinking of the whole topic in general!

    I suggest you guys all start with a 10 minute free write about it. That will get the ideas flowing without the worry of structure and getting "stumped." Then reread it and pick out what may seem to be central points/thesis ideas. This always worked well for me when I was unsure about how to begin a piece... at least it worked a lot better than maturely avoiding it! :)
