Improvement

I really need to work on my paper. So far, I have spent roughly forty-five minutes actually typing while the rest has been procrastination. The area I need to improve on the most in continuity. And by that, I mean does this paragraph fit here after this one or should I move it to the end? For some insane reason, I am trying not to use the word "is" in the paper. I blame my eighth grade English teacher for this. Whenever we wrote a paper for her, she would take that time to rant about how her college English teacher would deduct a letter grade for every "is" he found in their papers. I guess I am trying to take this as some sort of personal challenge. I have no idea why. It infuriates me.
