The worst part about writing papers:
The Conclusion.

I seriously have all sorts of trouble writing conclusions.

1. Over the past two weekends,
I've written a five-pager and an eight-pager.

My brain has short-circuited. Luckily, midterm break starts a week from Thursday .:hangover:

3. I always found getting started to be
the hardest part. :-)

8. Not at all. Some people have trouble starting, finishing or
continuing.

I had trouble with all three, lol.

4. I was going to say "sitting down to do them."
Unfortunately, as a procrastinator, the conclusion--(for me anyway...)--occurred at one of two points during the latter days of my college career:

- about 1 hour before said paper is due
-OR-
- when I ran out of energy/caffeine/coffee/red bull

6. Hmmm... that doesn't make a lot of sense.
You wouldn't have started the paper without a conclusion; nor could you have written the first couple paragraphs without a conclusion.

:shrug:

7. What was your question? And, what was your answer?
Really, try me. I'm a trained professional and I'm waiting on a puppy delivery. :)

9. Recap what you've already said.
There shouldn't be anything new in the conclusion.
