Hello folks! I truly hope I don’t sound like I’m whining here, but it feels as if I’ve been working on these college essays for four score and seven years! I’ve already written a large amount for my Questbridge application, which I sent out last week. Yesterday I did an essay for school, and now I’m back on the college essay track this weekend as well as for the NMSC essay. I’ve become so overwhelmed and I’m struggling to get anything written down at all! For some reason, the more I write in such a compressed amount of time, the harder it becomes to continue writing. Does anyone have tips for getting over this sort-of writer’s block?
I wish I did. Writing is a process. Just have to plug along. Take frequent breaks. Clear your mind. Maybe some exercise? Just a helpful tip. Even when you think it’s done, walk away from it. Go back 24 hours later and see if you are still happy with it. Often you find mistakes or see a better way to present something. Hang in there. You feel so accomplished when you are done! @h0kulani
