This is a reflection of the process of my research proposal write-up. I know this should actually be done while the process of writing, but I was too engrossed in finishing the task that I forgot. However, no fret for this is an honest account of the journey.
Firstly, it is not easy. There are times (most of the time) when I questioned myself, over the topic that I chose. Is it good? Can it be carried out as a research? Will it have issues of validity? Should I change the topic? Why does it sound boring now? All these made it really difficult. I would go back and forth, thinking, deleting the lines I have written, rewrote them, and at times, I just stared at the blank screen of my laptop.
Come to think of it, this is the active process that everyone engages in when writing. It's like you need to synthesize, organize and unify the scholarly articled related to your topi that you have read, and relate them to the topic that you have chosen to justify the need for that research to be conducted. At the same time, you will actively question your choice, and this actually helps you to grasp a better understanding of the content related to the area you have chosen, as well as of your own desire and aims.
Writing the introduction is not so much of a problem. However, when it comes to the justification part, it became a continuos battle between me and the literature, a constant back-and-forth deliberation that I felt like screaming! Hahaha. Nevertheless, in the process of doing so, I actually felt intrigued because it kind of tested my cognitive ability of reasoning. And I gladly say that I managed to finish the justification in a manner I think required at the master's level. Well, I hope so.
