The keys to writing are: be in a comfortable location in which you can concentrate, avoiding too comfortable places, find an argument that invigorates you, and get your ideas on paper immediately.
Being in a great location, like Ron Koertge states, is a great idea. One must find a place that fits the person. Also, picking places that are too comfortable can hazard a problem. For example, I avoid writing at places in which people are playing loud videos and chatting. But complete silence, working on my bed, makes me fall asleep no matter what surface I lean against, convincing myself that as long as I am vaguely uncomfortable that I will be fine. That is a bad idea. Personally, I write best in a quiet place that I fill with droning, repetitive music that is away from large, persuasive, comfortable cushions.
Next finding the argument is the trick. If you don't care, your paper won't, and your teacher won't either. So, essentially: not caring=not caring, definitely=s not caring. The end. But trying to care a little to put time into putting thought into how to change the topic around to care a little is worth a lot. Being angry is actually best to storm your thoughts on paper and then edit. Editing is easy, it's the ominous blank page and the word count number is what gets you down. So be mad America; or just Prof. Lay's class.
Last point ties in with argument. Just get your ideas down on paper. Just do it. No one could tell you what you are thinking, and you are thinking right? So force your frozen-from-not-moving fingers to haphazard a few words. Just like in (forgive me) stupid Christmas movies- just put one foot in front of the other and soon you'll be walking through the door with a paper in hand. Now doesn't that feel better?
