Proposal idea #1 just flat-out needs more base knowledge than I’ve got. Gotta do research before I can go anywhere with it. (Oh woe is me, FORCED to read history books! And perhaps Jane Austen!) Anyway, yeah, really can’t go anywhere with it because I’m spending all my writing time reading Wikipedia. That’s not much use. So I’ll make a stab at Proposal #2, and pick up some research books (and perhaps Jane Austen!) soon.
Yeah. Okay. Going to stare down Proposal #2 now.
eta: I blinked. The proposal didn’t. :p Third one seems to be going better…
