Good luck.  I'll start writing my SOP fairly soon.  I started the application process by cleaning up and rewriting portions of my two writing samples which received outstanding grades, but I wanted them to be perfect.  It took me three weeks to edit and rewrite, edit and rewrite, and finally edit and rewrite.  They are finally ready to be read by the three professors that I've chosen in my MA program for final comments and approval--one of which was the original professor I wrote for the two papers.  I will do the same method with the SOP, probably writing at three or four iterations until I feel confident enough to submit to the same three professors for final approval.  I hope you have several professors that can give you guidance and constructive comments.
