Why doesn’t it turn on when I need it?
I’m working on writing an essay that is an important part of something I want to do. I sent my 972nd draft to my husband to proof, and he had some specific practical notes but his overarching criticism was along these lines:
You write about boring stuff on your blog all the time, and yet all of it is more readable than this. (He actually thinks my blog is pretty fantastic, even at times when I think it’s meh.)
And I’d be upset, but the truth is that he’s right. Turn the pressure on, and suddenly fascinating material becomes about as clear as a fourth-grader’s How I Spent My Summer essay.
I’m also a little stressed because I don’t yet have another important element of the Thing On Which I’m Working, which I don’t particularly want to specify here for mostly superstitious reasons.
Sigh. It’s like ten thousand spoons when all I need is a knife! (No, really it’s more like “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.”) Can I please draw on a little of my own skill and sparkle, right now when it would serve a specific purpose?

I am thinking maybe the right way to approach this is to write like you’re writing a blog post?
If you blog directly into the text entry box, maybe even consider writing your essay in the blog text entry box. Make yourself FEEL like you’re not writing an essay.
Good luck! I am assuming this is a school or grant application but even if it is something else, good luck!
