Not knowing where to start when it comes to writing can be a pain. For me the hardest part is coming up with what to write about. From there it doesn't get much easier. luckily there are some very simple steps you can take to help.
when you wait till the last minute to start writing, the best starting point is to brainstorm. make a list of things that interest you. Once you have a couple good topics down, make points about each one, they can be as specific or generic as you want. As long as you're starting to have something on paper.
After having a few ideas down with some points to go along with each you can start to try and write about one of them. I usually like to go on the internet and see which one of my topics has the most useful information on it. It might help to make a visual outline of the information you have gathered.
With your ideas on paper and a visual outline, you are now ready to start writing. If writer's block hits you, you can always ask a peer for a little help. Don't let them write for you but brainstorm with them. Talk about ideas and get a different opinion on your work.
Now its time to start your first draft. Take this information and do the best you can. good luck!
Some great advice on the invention process.
