(no subject)

I've been asked to write an article for www.treasurevalleyteen.com
The subject of my article is "How to beat afterschool boredom."

I have been procrastinating for about a week, but I have to get the article done today, so I am finally working on it. Typical.

I've been doing some brainstorming and prewriting stuff before today, but I hadn't been able to really nail down what I direction i wanted to go, and haven't had any real structure. and out of the back of my mind comes highschool english.

Seriously, I heard my teachers in my head saying things like; " just start with a basic five paragraph essay format. Intro, 3 body paragraphs and a conclusion" " CD: CM CM"  "Transitions between paragraphs"

I suppose it is good to know that certain things stuck, but man, where has my ability gone? I think i've posted about this before, but in college I could bust out a 3-5 page essay like it was my job (I suppose it was). This 600 word article is stumping me though.
I think I'll chalk it up to the fact that it is going to be published on this website, and linked to my name and my job proffessionaly, it isn't just an essay for a teacher to grade.

ok, back at it. CD CM  CM.
ok, I remember CD CM CM, but for a moment I forgot what they stood for. I remember now. Concred Detail, Commentary Commentary. got it. Thanks Reno High.
