As I've only just tested for 4th kyu, it'll be quite awhile before I need to test for shodan.
I practice kokikai aikido, and yes, it requires an essay for shodan and a photo as well.
Good luck on your essay,

P.S. Maybe just try to let it flow without your mind getting in the way too much. Then go back afterwards, and see if you can reform it into something worthwhile. It may come together better than you expected.
