I have a three page essay due tomrrow morning, and I have two pages written and I can not think of a single thing left to say.
Topic, What do you do when you're writing under a deadline and you get writers block?

I think of many useless stupid ideas which eventually get me a good one... funny I've got the same problem right now though.

If you need three pages, and you have three pages, then what's the problem?

If you can't BS at least three pages of anything, you'll never get anywhere in life.

Three pages? Pfft, I do those 30 minutes before they're due. Just type out some context in the beginning to give some historical background to your paper.

Take a nap, eat something, give your brain some room to breathe. Oh, and the writing really big thing helps too. :D

Imagine what will be when you have to write at least 50!!!!!!!!

Just calm down try to gather more information about your topic and voila it will be done!

What's it on?

What I learned in my three day mini class on the novel Frankenstein. What my thoughts and feelings were about the class and the novel. I'm not very good at expressing my thoughts and feelings on things so this assignment is kind of a pain for me.

Add these bits of information
Dr. Frankenstein was also known as the Modern Prometheus
Some guy on Who wants to be a millionaire UK only took home £250,000 because he wasn't too sure on this

Robert De Niro played the beast and Kenneth Branagh the Dr. in the 1994 film

Peter Boyle played the beast and Gene Wilder the Dr. in the 1974 spinoff Young Frankenstein (Frankenstein pronounced Fronk-ken-steen)

The sequel to Frankenstein (1932), the Bride of Frankenstein (1935) was claimed by some film critics to be better than the original

If you're tired, take a break. Eat something, get some rest or take a walk outside. If you're out of inspiration, you may want to watch a movie, read some book or listen to some music. In your essay, you may want to plan out its structure and think which parts could use some extra details. Write all you know about something, give some examples to make your essay more concrete, or try anything else that works. Usually it's not that hard to write three pages worth of text. Just make sure you stay on topic in your essay. :)

Thankfully for me I never work to just before a deadline, nor do I ever have writers block. This is primarily because I'm a fountain of ideas, as well as a quick worker.

With me, it's always the opposite. I can never quite fit all my ideas into an essay with a pre-ordained limit.

Whatever your essay is on, research it on Wikipedia or somewhere rlse and then start adding little bits of info into the material you've already written. You should be able to get at least enough more info for another page, unless you can't research said topic for whatever reason. In that case, just start expanding your points, a little here, a little there. There must be some way to expand what you've already written...

I have to do it in one sitting or it'll interupt the flow of my paper. It usually gets done quickly when I wait till the last minute though. Yes I procrastinate :) but atleast I get A's.

When it happens I just sit back, chill, listen to some music, and check the forums and other crap online for about 15-30 minutes. After that, I can usually find a way to lengthen it to the required length. However, I'm fortunate enough to have developed a pretty good knack at making things as long and wordy as possible, so these types of things are usually not a problem.

Good luck though. :)

Take a step back and relaxe for a little bit, then come back to it. Reread what I wrote and see if I can add more here and there. BS a little here and there, then hope for the best. Also check the format if your teacher is looking for a specific one.

I hate being in that situation... There's nothing like it. Hmm, I just sit and stare and become more and more frustrated because of my stupid writer's block, which isn't really helping me getting rid of it :eep:

Frankenstein, Dracula and the other very classic horror novel were written by three different people. Here's an interesting fact:

The three writers met in a pub one day, and decided to have a bet on who could write the scariest horror novel. Thus they were created, though I never knew who it was that won.
