Organization: Getting Started Getting papers started often seems the hardest part of the process. Advice about structuring papers may seem irrelevant to the student who is stuck, gnawing on a pencil, in front of a blank page. Anxious to get the paper from inside the head onto the page, writers may become so obsessed with the product that they flounder about in the process. An outline may seem slightly threatening, like a contract you cannot break or a dentist appointment. But making a plan for a paper need not inhibit the flow of ideas. A plan can get them going by helping you decide what is most important to say. What follows is a list of methods for shaping the raw material of a paper. Not all of them will work for all kinds of papers, for all people. Experimenting with various methods will help you see what works best when. Often writers who have "always done it that way" find that trying a new way releases energy and improves the prose.
