Need Help - writers block

I have to write an essay for maticulation into the educational leadership program. I need to write about my goals and objectives. I can't start it. Anyone have a good opening sentence? TIA

Re: Need Help - writers block

  • I don't really have any idea for a good opening sentence.. maybe don't start at the first sentence. Maybe do an outline, write down some thoughts and just get some ideas of paper.
  • I agree with the above poster -- start in the middle. Start writing out your goals and objectives and the opening paragraph will come to you.

     

  • I agree with pp. Start in the middle. 

    But, if you can't start in the middle (sometimes I can't) start with some super basic, generic opening sentence just to get you started. Then come back to it later. If you still can't think of anything, just keep writing opening sentences and then piece together the parts you like from all of the opening sentences. It sounds like a crazy system, but it usually works for me.  

    Please pass the ice cream.
