Writing Block... Already???

Anyone else feeling a little stuck when trying to start writing the research paper? I'm not sure where to begin. We're supposed to cover the history of our topic. Well, mine goes back all the way to the 19th chapter of Genesis! Sure, covering what's said in the Bible is easy but what about the churches opinion of same sex marriage through out history? None of my sources have anything to do with that, all of them are current. Does this mean I'll have to search for more sources and add them to my bibliography (ugh, that was so annoying!) ?

The point of this whole post is to say that when it comes to writing the research paper, I'm stuck. Usually writing reports and things comes really easy for me but I've never written something this big before. From the instructions Mrs. Bell gave us, it seems I would have to write so much more than five pages to include it all!

And then today (or was it yesterday?) I got this great idea for a short story and I would so much rather be working on that. And next week (Monday) my sister is coming home from college with a friend, on Wednesday my while family is driving up to Boston to celebrate Thanksgiving with my Dad's entire family (plus my sister's friend and an exchange student staying with my Aunt and Uncle) so any hope I had of working on my research paper during break seems to be crumbling. There is always the six hour+ car ride...

Goodness gracious! Just think about college!
