I don't love writing either, and putting off getting my degree at TESU because I was avoiding the capstone was a huge mistake.  It turned out not to be so bad - not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

The actual final paper for my BSBA was only 13 pages.  But it was not so bad, because you learn to write it as you go through the capstone.  So, I was writing about different ideas and doing case studies through the course, and the final paper was actually like a culmination of all the papers I wrote.  By the time I wrote it, I was pretty darn comfortable with what I was doing.

I would say that it is more intimidating than it should be, and that you should not let it stop you from getting your degree where you want.  Just an opinion from someone who's been there.
Thank you.  Have capstones always been a thing?  I thought back in the day they were typically for masters programs.  I just wouldn't expect one for interdisciplinary studies or liberal arts since there is no main focus.
