Here is a suggestion, if you need one (lifted directly from Robert Boice, Professors as Writers: A Self-Help Guide to Productive Writing. New Forums, 1990):
a 500-word essay (min) that offers a more polished version of your best ideas from the quarter.
Reflect briefly on a new writing project [or a topic] you’d like to develop. But don’t reflect for long; you can always try another possibility in your next trial. Then begin writing. Go quickly if you have ideas readily available. Go slowly when you’re thinking about directions, goals, audience, etc. But keep going. Don’t struggle over form or correctness. Just make a beginning. Keep it up for at least 10 minutes, for up to an hour if you’re generating good, on-topic material.
