 It's time to look at your sources. Depending on what kind of essay you're writing, you're either looking for sources online yourself or using the ones the professor made readily available for this specific assignment. Either way, sources are essential to not only supporting your thesis, but also helping developer theses. One of the biggest pitfalls students fall in when incorporating sources is not giving themselves adequate time to figure out how to organize them within their essays. Or perhaps you're the student who wants to incorporate 10 sources in a double-spaced live-page essay and realize later that maybe you bit off way more than you could chew. For one, try looking at your sources early in the writing process, not two days before the due date. Start off with a couple of solid sources and later, you can add more or adjust your sources based on the argument you construct. Remember, the relationship between your sources and your thesis is not always linear and neither does only one influence the other. Sometimes you'll find that your sources help develop and influence your thesis. Other times, you may already have an argument in mind and you look for evidence and sources that'll support your in-progress thesis.
