Journaling always helps me reach my goals and it's very therapeutic as well. It's essentially a bullet journal with diary entries. Do any of you journal? How has it helped you?

I have a fictional short story I have to write by next Thursday and I am completely dry of ideas and don't know where to start.
Does anyone know a good website full of good writing prompts or tips they can share?
Also, just share some good prompts if you have any.

What is the best way to start a sentence?

I have about a week to pump out about 8 pages about the dreaded "anything we've talked about in class so far"

I'm thinking I might write about epigenetics and the impacts of that field on human development , but I have other options.

The teacher is a pretty easy grader when it comes to papers so far, probably because his class isn't an english or science class. I usually get A's, so my grade is good right now, but this paper is worth a lot, like 20% or something.

I've got pretty bad writers block and I've got lots of other things to do this week. I also still need some sources. I wonder if any of you guys could point me in a good direction for sources? Or if someone had an old paper laying around on the same topic and would be willing to share it so I could use it as a template or something? Any help would be great thanks
