Writers block

[notapooka]

Need to write a statement of my objectives for applying to Rowan. I am so completely blocked... Do they make a laxative for writers block?

Dear Rowan,

I wish to feel the soul-grating pain of a Route 42 commute. What can you do to help me accomplish this dream?

Love,
S.

Seriously though, you had a reason when the question popped into your head. Write down that one goal, then work backwards to where you are now. You'll start with a big GOAL on one side of the paper and a big YOU on the other side, and then the tree of possibilities that will expand until you have a big cloud of WTF in the middle that you're not really sure about.

Getting it all out on paper in some form will really help you focus on what's needed and what steps you still have questions about.

What program are you applying for? Why do you want to be in it? What do you hope to achieve once you are done with the program? Just start writing stuff down. You can edit it into something well written later.
