Writers Block

I have been trying to work on my paper tonight at work but the writer’s block continues. It is amazing how writer’s block can affect you... I sit at the computer hoping that the words will just flow- but they don’t. It is so easy to get bogged down with fear. The fear of not knowing enough and not being good enough. It never seems to end. Everyone tries to be so supportive and encouraging but it doesn’t do any good... unless they want to just write the paper for me  I wouldn’t mind... but my professor might. So needless to say, I still have 25 pages to go... and I’m not sure even where to start. So many ideas but none of them cohesive- even to me- so I don’t know how they will make a good paper. It will get done in due time I am sure of that because I really don’t have a choice... the semester ends when it ends. It doesn’t wait for people like me. One week to go and it will all be over with... One week and I can come out of hibernation. I feel like I have been a total recluse this semester filling my head with ideas of fascism and its origins in Italy... Man, I will be grateful the day I don’t have to utter those words again!

About me...

What's Your Pet Name?

Stress... That is an understatement!

Well, by now I should be well on my way with that wonderful thing called a senior paper. But leave it to me... to freak out at the last minute and try to change my topic, then change it back when I realize how incredibly stupid it would be to change at this point. As long as I can get a draft done by Sunday life will be good. I may get no sleep till then but at least it will get done :) Then I can come out of hibernation :) Wahoo!!!
