Finally you have reached the point that this whole exercise is about. You've already completed the hardest part of a research paper—choosing a topic, researching, taking notes, outlining, and organizing. All that is left now is to write the paper. You won't be able to produce a polished paper in your first try, so your tasks right now are to get the first draft down on paper using all those notes you took, keep it in a logical order using your outline and your note organization system, and then turn it into a research paper that is unique to you.
