It sounds to me like your biggest problem is organization … but you didn’t seem to have too much trouble writing facts down in order here!

I learned to write when I got my hands on a typewriter (and later a computer). I discovered that my thoughts just fly off onto the page! It was a wonderfully liberating experience!

However, you still have to get through your education … but you can do that by concentrating on your strengths and getting a bit of help with your weaknesses.

For example history — that’s really my thing! I don’t know how a good fiction writer could not like history! The thing is, to relax and enjoy the story — that’s what history is, a story. It just so happens it’s a true one!

Next time you need to write “facts” try putting them on separate pieces of paper, note cards, etc. Then sort them so they make sense to you. THEN write them down! That’s how I wrote history papers for YEARS and then, all of a sudden, it became a natural thing.

You might also try and find a course in study skills and organization … that will help a lot!

Good luck!
