I considered going on /adv/ for this and then realized this was a question for the experts.

So. Yeah. I have to write a lot...
As in, probably 4 5 page essays and a 9 page research paper. Two of the essays are late (but will be accepted)

>not used to writing so much--used to be relatively ok (best student in shit like AP lit) then went downhill when college happened
>very slow writer, easily distracted, probably am a brainlet
>hard to get into the flow; I tend to write disjointed sentences of ideas then poorly connect them together
>there *is* technically plenty of time, next week is 100% free
>feel reasonably well motivated but am still hit writing blocks all the time
>don't know how to pull all-nighters
>will be kicked out if I can't do my essays, am scared out of my mind

I've been using an add-on that blocks certain sites, yet it doesn't help me write any faster.
The two essays I turned on in time did get the top grade in class (both were called "compelling" which was nice) but it feels like a fluke because I know that I've lost my way and am not a real writer.

What advice do you have for me, /lit/?

Go to academic advisers and ask for help you faggot

Go to the administration and say you're having panic from the strain or whatever, say you have real life shit going on that is making it hard to focus on all five essays, and they'll maybe help accommodate you

I should have left out the /adv/ bit. And 70% of what I said.
>>9614697
Did so already. It helped, but to some extent this is a mess that I got myself into and need to resolve myself.

It's almost like I'm afraid of writing..I'm not sure why.

If your body agrees with caffeine, drink it and a lot of it. Consider going into your room with the door closed or heading to a quiet library that has private study areas. Minimize or ideally, eliminate all distractions. Outline what you want to say, flag with post-it's quotes or citations you want to use. It might even help to write out your intro or first paragraph long hand to get in the mood of writing.

You're afraid of the consequences of not handing in the essays, that's why.
