Hi, I'm having trouble with my research paper. I don't know where to start and the deadline is fast approaching. I have a topic, but I don't know how to structure it or what sources to use. It's overwhelming. Can anyone give me some advice on how to deal with this?      

I realize how difficult this is, believe me. The first step is always to break the project down into parts. Create an outline, focusing on the main points and sub-points. Research is key, so utilize scholarly journals, books, and reliable online databases. When I found myself in your position, I had to step back and recognize that I needed someone to help me write my research paper. I took advantage of the help services I found on the internet. If possible, try to write in short segments so you don't burn out - just state your ideas and then refine them.      

Focus on the key sections first - introduction, main body, conclusion. If you get bogged down in the details, it can seem like an endless task. Make a roadmap of what you want to cover in each section, and then add specific examples and arguments as you go along. Be sure to revisit the thesis statement as you write so that your arguments do not diverge from the case.
