Struggling...

I have been working and working at this essay on a Word document and was planning to post what I had at the end of the might, but it's just not there yet, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I really need to finish this asap, like tomorrow, but I keep running into my familiar enemies: generalizations, vagueness, platitudes, and they're not being stamped down by my positive qualities. I'm going to keep at it tomorrow and post what I have no matter what, as maybe the fear of posting something bad will spur me on to quality work. We'll see.

Any and all advice appreciated. To refresh your memory, this essay is about the end of a relationship with a longtime babysitter and how it mirrors--and doesn't--a traditional break-up.
