...my writeomatic is broken. I used to be able to crank out (mediocre) papers without breaking a sweat: 10-pager due tomorrow? No problem! Three pages an hour? Sure, why not? But the last three days have been misery, misery, misery, and it's my own fault. I've got a piddling 8-page research paper I'm supposed to write for my Shakespeare class, but something in me has snapped and I simply cannot get myself to work on it. It's not that I don't know what to write; I've already got a huge outline, a jillion sources, and a pretty solid idea of what I want to say. I just can't make myself start typing it without nearly tearing out my hair, and even once I do start, I get distracted multiple times every paragraph. This is very bad news considering I've got term papers coming up due in about three weeks. Crap.
