Hi, Daniel -

Whoa, Nellie!

You'll have to focus this before you begin to write since an essay makes and works to prove a specific point, such as the effect of x upon y or the future of z.

To get a topic, read around on your subject. Look for specific subtopics that interest you and that have a body of research done on them. Read around and choose one of these for your topic.

Once you have your topic, read your articles and take notes. Then write your outline based on research. What point about a specific topic, such as the effectiveness of Cloud, or the future speed of dial up, does the research suggest?

When you can make a specific point about a specific topic, then write your outline. Go over your outline until it does make and prove a specific point about a specific topic.

When it does, then write your paper.

Best,

Dr. Ross
