I did the outline last week &#8212; and it isn&#8217;t working.  It&#8217;s too vague maybe for a long paper and I don&#8217;t know how to make it more detailed (yes the paper is due in two days).  <\/p>\n<p>So the new strategy? I took everything I&#8217;ve written so far and separated each section and made each into its own document.  I now have 13 independent documents open plus another with notes that haven&#8217;t found their way into the paper yet.  My strategy is to complete each of these 13 documents as its own mini-paper and then assemble them as a complete work (by this time tomorrow).  :)  <\/p>\n<p>It was too confusing trying to keep track of where each piece of research fit into the long document.  This should be much easier as I&#8217;ve saved each with a meaningful title.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got a hideous paper due Friday and yesterday I realized (for reasons that I won&#8217;t go into now) that my topic is all wrong.
