Help me Write an Essay!

So many students struggle with essay writing and yet once they begin the process they find it was nearly as difficult as they thought. Oftentimes the greatest obstacle is a mental block and once that block is discovered and resolved, the rest is easy. Different people experience different kinds of mental block. Some can’t begin the writing process, some are stumped when it comes to research, some can’t find the right topic and some struggle with spelling, grammar and syntax. All of these problems are easily overcome.

When to Write an Essay

A lot of research and commentary has gone into helping people to know ‘how’ to write an essay but equally important and much less talked about is ‘when’ to write an essay. When to write an essay is important from several perspectives. One is purely logistical and involves planning sufficiently in advance to give yourself time to research, write, edit, re-write and then finally to proofread the essay. There are rules of thumb here that can help. The other perspective is more psychological. When to write an essay is as much about being in the right state of mind as it is about the content you produce. The right mindset naturally lends itself to better flow, syntax and articulation.
