Nice! It is surprisingly painful to complete these things, isn't it. Although Ive done it twice, I found it at times unbearable, so I can absolutely understand people who give up halfway or even further in. Without my then-gf giving advice and kicking me in my behind I would probably still be working on throwing out the 1000th draft for the outline of my masters thesis 9 years later.

Though I didn't get the thing with focus you mentioned, what's that?

Well I mentioned 'focus' twice... first being my subject topic of focus. Polaroid was the topic focus. I wrote on a lot of aspects of the inventor, the corporation, the cameras, the film, the artists that used it and the current project that is saving it by producing film when the corp pulled out of producing instant film.

The other was just saying that I didn't focus on the word count.

I don't understand how people do drafts? I honestly just started writing, and went chapter by chapter. Mailed it to my supervisor, he noted a few edits of typos and told me to add a bit more to the conclusion. I didn't even proofread it before I sent it to him. I fixed what he said and printed. It's always been the way that I write. I write as if it was the final copy. I don't even know how people do drafts. I would totally overthink everything and freak out.

I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
