A decent proposal

I'm close to finishing the first draft of my proposal. And a drafty draft it is! I'm not quite sure the methodology matches up with the research questions. I don't know whether I got a lot of stuff in the lit review right. Heck, I don't really know what's in some of the archives I'm going to list. I think this is OK, because the all the good stuff I've found in archives so far has been in random collections. I almost wrote off the diaries of the girl with soldiers when I first read them because she wasn't like, "I am a tomboy, this is what I think about being a tomboy," etc. So I figure it's OK to fudge some of the sources part. It's not a brilliant proposal; it's a decent proposal. I'm sure I'll have to rewrite it anyway to please my eclectic committee. That's why it's called a draft: you can feel the air whooshing through all the holes in it. Here's hoping it's done by Friday so my committee can spend all Labor Day weekend reading it!
