I think I know where I'm going

Okay, I think I've figured out how to narrow my scope a bit so as to focus on the discourse about autism. I'm still drafting but I'll post up my latest draft of the proposal when I have it completely fleshed out. Goal: August 6th.

A former professor of mine told me last month that the proposal was the hardest part for him. (Roxanne's told me the same thing many times.) I'll say, it's much more difficult than I thought it would be. A lot of research to do before you can even begin to know what you even want to try and say.

DITTO--it is beyond the hardest thing to do!

Yes, the proposal is contrary to everything we know (and the rest of the world doesn't) about writing as process.

It's not a contract, though, and I've seen very few dissertations that actually did what the proposal promised to do.

So know that you can change things as the process continues.
