PhD proposal anxiety

(Anonymous) 2015-11-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I've been contacting potential PhD supervisors, and one that I'd love to work with who is at a very good school gave me an awesome reply. She asked me to send her a draft of my proposal, and now anxiety is kicking me in the face. It's not done, and while I know the topic is the one I want to do, it needs a lot of fine-tuning. Plus, it's an extension of my MA, but as I write the proposal I keep feeling like everything I write sounds like basically the same thing I wrote in my MA, but just more... in-depth? Theoretically?

This professor was kind enough to offer to take a look and give some feedback, so I really want to impress her, but I've worked myself into being way too embarrassed of what I do have. This isn't my formal application but I know it's still my shot at making a good impression.

So, those of you who have written PhD proposals, any advice? It's for a humanities topic.
