a stroke of luck! not having prepared a corner view post, my book jumped to my rescue. this is LET THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ERASE YOUR NAME by VENDELA VIDA {p. 94}. hunger in the middle ☺. jane's corner view, francesca's hosting, kelleyn's theme.
key is to grab the moment. one night i lay down underneath the skylight and let myself get bewildered by daunting moonlight and the wavy douglas above my skylight window. on my closed eyelids, i caught the flickering movements of the fir, filtering the moonlight in my bedroom. i usually get agitated by this. not this time. i wanted to cease the moment, carpe noctem, so to speak ... and fell asleep.
i am in two minds about april 1st. while i can appreciate a good gimmick, i do not consider april fishes to be that humourous. every april 1st however, i see many people thinking differently. in our country called 'send-away-day', i remember dad sending me over to my aunt (living next door back then) on one or other errand. the first few years this happened to me i stood there blinking, trying to make sense of my aunt's chuckle. 'you've been fooled, girl! your dad did it again.'
i am now well over halfway year one of cartoon classes. i'll admit my enthusiasm has been somewhat clouded by my laidback attitude. at the best of times i'm a buyer for deadlines, so i keep on thinking all-the-time-in-the-world, and i spend another three blissful hours in the kitchen. i'm beginning to understand that if i don't get the work done, i'll sweat for it on short notice. and i find the latter no option.
consider the viewfinder. as in using both hands, mimicking a frame and
there it is, your view. or use the camera's viewfinder. no camera at hand,
squint your eyes to suppress surrounding rubble which helps to find the view
you're looking for. it does work. finally, on paper, use a proper little {handmade} finder. any twist or
turn brings up new angles, obviously. i do not use it often enough.
