I know I'm no literary genius but these secondaries really shouldn't be this hard. Can't I just re-copy "I really want to go to Med School" a bunch of times.

hahhahahah. Welcome to secondary-land. I had been suffering a serious writer's block for my CWRU essay and needed some inspiration. So I watched Patch Adams. 🙂
I am tellling you, it works! You have to do something or think of something inspirational before you write. Writing is an art. You can't force it.

Inspiration is paramount to good writing, but be careful! I watched The Royal Tenenbaums before writing Case Western's secondary, and it ended up sounding really dark, and depressing, and borderline suicidal. Additionally, there were pockets of unintentional hilarity, and mice running everywhere. On top of that, I discussed my meltdown in the 1979 Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Then I discovered that I was brainwashed by the film instead of inspired by it! The best part? My last line ended with, "(...) and then I realized, your ideal candidate is everything I'm not."

Kaos, we share similar experiences. I actually discussed in my secondaries my intention to write a novel. I am 50 pages into one so far, but I don't yet know if the finished product will be publishable. It's going so many directions!
