The picture describes exactly how I feel. Another week gone and another week I have yet to accomplish anything with my research project. At this point in time I’m more focus on the actual screenplay, which I have been frivolously working on. I did contact the author Henry Garfield and he was quite excited to see I wanted to use his novel as my muse. He also requested a final copy, which I will gladly send him. As for school, I have all but given up. I don’t like coming anymore and after Wednesday when my AP tests are complete it will officially all be over in my mind, hence the lack of work I have been doing on the paper. I am passionate about movies and writing screenplays, but there is no passionate when it comes to doing any research. I will, of course, finish the paper by the deadline, but will it be any good remains to be seen. So the goals for the upcoming two weeks are as follows:
1) Find websites related to the history of the horror genre. This includes literary criticism databases as well as Questia, which I believe will be where a majority of my findings come from.
2) Begin the paper (quite self explanatory)
There are the week’s goals, if all goes well I hope to have at least a first paragraph with a beautiful thesis by Friday. If that can be done, the rest will be easy.

I agree - get the intro done, and the rest will follow. I'm sure, if you follow the rubric, then your work will be just fine. You have an interesting topic, so try to bring that interest out.
The picture is perfect though, and I feel your pain.
