Here's a plan:

I'll try to keep writing, at a rate of about a page per day, for four more weeks. If, in four weeks, the result still does not look like it will turn into a proper thesis, I will reapply with a new topic in December (perhaps the Marcuse one that was suggested to me by another prof about a year ago; or something about utopias/dystopias, as I've - incidentally - read a lot about those when I was searching for theory stuff I could use for my thesis).
(I went and talked to some profs and a fellow student today; will see my advisor on Thursday - she wasn't there today - and will probably go to see a psych. counselor tomorrow, to try to figure out if I'm mainly having a 'technical' problem here or if it's more of a psychological issue. Either way, I may still have to abort the project, because three months is barely enough time to write a proper thesis, even under perfect conditions.)
