The writing process is normally aided by a sense of pressure. The paper that we're working on is something that has to be written-not just because we must please our writing instructors we need a need a good grade in this course (those pressures have their own sense of emergency) but because there is information or a point of view that we need to share with the reader. The pressure to write is determined by the relationship between you as writer and the audience you're trying to reach and affect.
