There are some traits that a good academic writer needs to have. You need to be self-motivated, because no one is going to check up on your work pace and keep you going. You need to be organized, because you will often have more than one assignment due each day. You need to be able to clear away mental clutter in order to focus on the core each essay, even as you change from subject to subject over the course of a day. You need to be a good written communicator, not just in academic writing, but also via email with your clients and various freelance coordinators.
First of all, don’t be afraid to talk to your grader in advance and let them that you are struggling to understand the material. They may have suggestions for other readings or Web sites that might help you get a handle on things.
People are often surprised to find out that as a professional writer I’ve written countless poems, short stories, plays, and even screenplays, for clients. Students in all types of programs need support sometimes and ghostwriting is exists in all professions. There is an underlying assumption that writers must love their jobs and therefore are eager to do them 100% of the time. That might be true, but writers are also human beings who experience all of the stress and demands that other people do, and sometimes they have writers block or some other issue that interferes with their writing. As a writer I’ve also written religious speeches for officiates from a host of religious perspectives, romantic poetry, and ghost stories.
Academic writing can be great, but sometimes, you’re just sick of it and it feels like writing one more conclusion will kill you. If you have time, talk to your instructor. If you don’t know how to talk to your instructor, here are some hints. First, think about what you’ve read, heard, and done, so far, in the class. What interested you? Was there something you loved? A subject you absolutely loathed? If that doesn’t give you any ideas, take it to your instructor during office hours. Tell them, I hated X or the way that so-and-so described X. Would recommend some reading that would help me analyze those ideas in a paper? See how easy?
Yes. Word goals are a structure, a program; they are more like a recipe than a standard chemical equation; there is room for tastes and for changing the balance of flavors.
Even for professionals like those at PowerPapers.com, there are times when writing itself is so stressful, you persuade yourself to go forward by indulging a few whims. Working in front of the television and saving the references for last, are to writing what candy is to the body, better as an occasional sprinkle than a foundation.

Not all information is created equal and that is especially true if you are researching online. Finding credible sources is becoming more complicated as sites become more sophisticated in appearance and style. Many internet sites which claim to be the experts in a given field are actually amateur blog sites or sites created to drive traffic in a certain direction – without any real or relevant credentials. So how then does one determine the legitimacy and credibility of a website?
Each week, PowerPapers will present a three-part series of lessons designed to assist students in typical writing, research, editing, and related academic tasks. We begin with the research paper.
So, the first thing you need to know, if you are a returning student, is that it is natural to feel anxiety, for these reasons as well as others. The second thing you need to know is that all of these things can, and will, be worked out. It's like starting a new job; there is a learning curve, a lot of things to get used to, but within a relatively short period of time, everything is second nature. The third important thing to know is that there is help!
