No inspiration for essays: is it an impression?

[Werg22]

I simply can't write strong essays. The only reason I can think of is that I don't have enough general knowledge. That and even when I know a little about something relevant to the essay topic, I end up by giving up because I tell myself that my knowledge is way too "general" and can only generate weak arguments. Am I somehow lacking something, or is it an impression? Does the weakness comes from my inability to plan essays or my plain lack of knowledge?

Join the Impromptu section of a debate team and you'll get better.

Is it getting the ball rolling that's hard for you or is it describing the subject clearly?

Getting the ball rolling is my biggest issue.
