Finished a chapter after what seems like months (was months). Not completely happy with it - far from it, it's a strange chapter - but I think I have the structure down for this WIP, and that's always heartening. This is the foxwoman WIP, the Tsukasa one. Rather proud that I got to finish it while struck down by flu. The voice resembles Lydia Davis's, only more clipped. Del is quite a bitter person, I think.
I finished reading Youth by Joseph Conrad. I thought it was pretty funny and concerning, especially at the end where people were in the lifeboats and waiting for the captain, and the captain was sleeping on deck and the mates were eating cheese and bread. I liked the very clear impressions of the Far East. So this is how they viewed people like me.

Impressions:
- A student railing against unpaid internships, hers and her friends'.
- A traffic jam with an absolute abundance of cars and motorcycles, and people with car-faces trying to squeeze any advantage.
