When You Come In
- Be ready to write: have either a draft or a concrete idea about what you want to write.
- Your draft can be incomplete. An outline or just one section of the paper is fine.
- Short, early drafts often are more useful to work on than long or near-final papers.
- We can help you to figure out where to start writing, and we'll focus on the parts most challenging to you.
