Where it all begins
Everything has to start somewhere. There is always a place to start. When writing a paper you have to start with and outline. An outline can be as formal or as informal as you want it to be as long as you understand it and can gather your thoughts from it. An outline helps you get organized and ready to start writing it is like warming up before a long run. You should make a hierarchy of your ideas and make note of the important or the better ones. You can slowly move to your formal outline for your paper. Your formal outline is going to be like a map for your paper and help you navigate though writing your rough draft. All roads must lead to home right? Well all paragraphs must lead to another point. Once you start writing you must make sure all your paragraphs can transition one to the other. Make sure that you give enough details behind each idea and paragraph you have. Make sure that your paragraphs are in a good order and flow properly. It is very important that your paper reads naturally and with a flow to it. Start where it all begins and follow the helpful tips in chapter 29 and 30

The outline. I believe Chelsea made the point that outlines are not fun but they are necessary. While we have the opportunity in conversation to answer questions and clarify what we say, we don't get that chance in essays. We have to be able to create a pattern of thought that stands on its own, like sending the baby bird out of the nest.
