The Bane of our Existence as English Majors

Thankfully I don't mind writing, which is essential to us being English majors.  As much as I sometimes enjoy it there is always the hitch of actually deciding on what to write.  The invention of papers always comes as the hardest part for me.  As long as I am not set on what I want to say, I will avoid writing the paper like the plague.  Sadly this has begun to happen as I have begun to stare at all of my final papers...they are all that stand between me and summer...
