(no subject)

[annathyst]

I really do have a love/hate relationship with writing.
One I really get going in something, the words just start flowing from my fingers...it's almost a rush.
But God, do I have trouble getting started. I loathe starting on writing stuff. It just drives me crazy trying to think of ways to begin a piece.
Segue to the film paper I have to write. I have a great thesis, supporting details up the wazoo, and everything else I need to write it.
Except the damned beginning! I can't start it, and if I can't start it and finish it, I'll get an incomplete in film. Which would really, really suck...not that it matters, as I'm already accepted into Simon's Rock, but I still want to do a good job on the paper. I can't stand to do a half job for things I really care about...and this paper on Stanley Kubrick is definitely a subject I care about.
*sigh*...I suppose I -will- get to work on it tomorrow night. Writing this internal monologue out really did seem to make me feel better.

unfortunately, i know EXACTLY how you feel. i was just sitting here reading your post, nodding and wincing. even more unfortunate is the fact that i am a journalism major. :\

anyway, good luck!

I thought as I was reading that that maybe you could start the paper a bit like a film, with a kind of panoramic shot of what you're looking at? Like a paragraph summing up what you're going to be saying, but in a very general way ...

I think I need to get out more ...
