Unanswered Question of the Day: What's the best way to write a research paper?

[xv]

Sometimes I think I've heard of every trick to motivate me to get writing and write a great paper, but every once in awhile someone surprises me with a new method. One that I heard recently from a classmate is that he first writes a paper about the paper he wants to write about. Any suggestion here is game, from where to write, under the influence

Definitely write on an empty stomach. The only thing in your system should be coffee.
Definitely plan your writing on a large whiteboard with bold markers. This makes the writing easier (eraseable) and also makes the concepts physically larger in your mind.
If you can't get the words out, try using a voice recorder to just spout off ideas in a conversational style.
Speaking of conversations, have a conversation with a friend about the subject matter.
Give yourself lots of breaks, so that you can come back to the material with fresh eyes.
ALWAYS PROOFREAD A PRINTED DRAFT
I cannot underestimate the value of the above comment. Go over the print out with a red pen. Print, print, and re-print until the paper looks great in printed form. After all, that's how the instructor is going to read it.

Another key to understanding the ordinarily large word count requirement of a research paper is that they expect you to include a fair number of block quotes. These quotes, of course, must be relevant to the subject matter, and you can't just drop a quote in without commenting on it. Each one must be presented with its own introduction and conclusion evaluating its content and explaining its relevance to your argument.
