Born in sin come on in

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i have to write an important grade-making paper in the next approximately 18 hours, 10-12 pages and i'm still not able to do it because every time i open the document i freeze and my anxiety flares up really badly, which has been the problem since i started trying to write it a week ago

anons i'm really fucked

yep this

if you haven't gotten over that bullshit in a week and you don't even know how to write a rough draft just to get your basic thoughts out, idk what to tell you

yeah. seriously op?

Maybe instead of opening up a blank document to type it up in, start coming up with it in your head. Once you have some pieces, then go and type that up.

Hopefully that will get the creative juices flowing without anxiety!

If you haven't already, maybe whip out a sheet of blank or lined paper and scribble onto it a vomit of whatever it is you're writing about, as many points and details as you want to cover in whatever order they come to you, and see if you can use it to brainstorm/kickstart your paper.

i just asked my bf with panic disorder about this

he said paste some stuff into the document, anything, so that you're not writing in a blank document

once you get going to can remove the filler stuff you pasted in

i know everyone's anxiety is different but i hope this helps!

this was actually very helpful, thank you

this is why you should start your paper at least a month in advance

but ten pages is no biggie

what are the parameters and what research do you need to do

(Anonymous) 2013-06-07 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
once i get started it isn't! and i finally was able to force myself into starting at least a little, so it may not go amazingly but i will be turning in something

My suggestions

Just write anything that comes to mind as the first draft.

Polish it up later.

IF you cant get it in time?

here. use the old college trick

(Anonymous) 2013-06-07 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
i once wrote a paper of that length from scratch in under 12 hours.

not saying everyone can do it, nor should you make a habit of it, but it's not nearly as impossible as it looks. you can do it anon! just start focusing on what you have now and work from there. most of all? don't panic.
