I have five and a half pages written out of an eight-to-ten page paper.

It is due tomorrow.

Here is where we commence the aforementioned crying.

I know two and a half pages isn't a lot, but it's been like pulling teeth with this whole thing. My fault for not doing my research thouroughly enough, I suppose.

I just want it to be OVER.

My advice: shitty first draft, aka, let yourself write anything. Seriously, compared with most people, even your crap will still probably be moderately good (especially if the crappy part is only 2.5 pages out of 8). Also, once you've got something, *any*thing to hand in, it's much easier to improve it than it is to agonize over getting it right the first time.

Write ANYTHING. For 10 minutes. I always end up with something to work with from that.

Good luck!
