Your advisor just gave you some excellent advice. I didn't submit a topic for my thesis, which is due in May, until September. I just spent my entire Thanksgiving break (except Thursday, thank goodness!) working on research and getting sample specimens. Coming up with ideas a year in advance can help you secure funding, or help you plan extra time for travel. Also, if for some reason you can't do one topic, you can change to another one without too much stress.
My Master's will be in Architecture-Historic Preservation. So, my topic is anti-graffiti coatings on weathering steel. It's a highly controversial topic within the building conservation world due to concerns that the anti-graffiti coating takes away from the steel's essence. We will see.
