How Do I Get The Motivation To Start An Essay?
I have a couple of pages of essay to write before I return to school in 7 days. I haven’t started and I really don’t want to start because I don’t know what to write, and I’m a perfectionist and I’d hate to give it a half-arsed attempt.
HELP? Where do I find the motivation? What are some tips and tricks?

Don’t start at the beginning – it’s the hardest way to do it.
there are several methods…the girl was right who said that you do not have to start at the beginning…the main thing is to just start “pushing your pen”. (or keys)
what’s your topic? on a piece of paper write down some of the words that might fit in.
If you are writing about yourself, use words/topics like growing up
parents
siblings
etc.
leave space between the words you choose so you can further add words that fit into or below these new topics. you are now forming an outline. write about any of the sub topics you have created… with a word processor you can cut and paste and before you know it the essay will take on a life of its own and almost write itself. The main thing is to just start putting words to paper. The longer you procrastinate the harder the job will be and the more stress there will be to do it. so right now just relax, and just START.
See your self writing the paper, put some tunes on chill, and just write that paper
You need to go for a walk and clear your mind first,meditate then it’ll come to you I’m sure.
Get to work it your future…..
thats all the motivation you need…
