By this time in the writing process most of the material and information you need you will already have gathered. At this time you will begin developing paragraphs and sketches of what you will use. You should be thinking about what topic you are writing about, what argument/point you will try to make, and your position on this. Jump in and start writing, anything at all, just write and deal with the materials. Keep in mind that your ideas are fluid, constantly changing in favor of better ideas; you can throw you ideas away, move things around, and make other deletions and changes. The most important thing is to start writing.
This was my favorite article from everything I have read before. I founds its belief that your ideas are always open to change, and that you should just start writing, helpful. The main reason this is my favorite article is one line it contains which I found hilariously amusing, it goes as follows ". . . invariably digressions will occur, together with other difficulties -- false starts, dead ends, total cessation of thought, digressions, despair, hopelessness, and general frustration. Other than this line, the article's message is one of the most practical, and that message is to just start.
