    Don't wait until the last minute to worry about things. Which is funny because a lot of writers need those deadlines because we are all about procrastination.

    Okay, on to actual advice. I can't help you for this tomorrow thing but I can advise you on what to do in the future. Read a lot, write... write some more and read. Create essay projects for yourself, look at pictures and make short 700-900 word stories, go to a coffee shop or a park and watch people. Write down what you imagine their names are, who they are, their lives. This is for creative type writing.

    For academic writing the best help is to research, read, take classes and study. Google usually has a lot of answers for questions you may have but don't always rely on it.

    For business writing, again read above about research, classes and studying. Know your word processor of choice and what is expected of you. Practice.

    1. While writing a paragraph don't start sentences with the same word. 2. Form sentences in an unexpected way like: "As I stand here before you i show no love for you and no honor towards you."

    Write stories and dialogues that feel Real. Imagine how you would reason and feel in a situation.
