I always liked public libraries. When I was a student at the university, they were a great place to make researches, learn and drink a coffee.
To meet a public at the club and to find my book Fantastic L.A close to the others authors was fun.
Thank you to the public library and club lecture member 🙂

My photos
To combine skills
I really like to combine skills on an artistic project. For example, after writing a text and dialogues, composing music allows me to visualize the whole thing and explore different formats.
In this photo, an example of one of my recordings.
Learning-collaboration
Readers often ask questions related to our business. Each author has her own path and techniques. For my part, I often write my ideas on sheets or a notebook without lines. This allows me to move them more easily. On the other hand, when I write, the computer is my main tool. That said, I also sometimes use a recorder so as not to lose musical ideas that I use (or not) as needed. The photo I posted today corresponds to the project I’m working on. For this one I called on other professionals to finalize certain parts (enlargements, rereading translation, advice, asked actors their opinion to make a proposition and to play)
The stage coach in Fantastic L.A.
As I most certainly said before, when writing my book Fantastic L.A. I drew certain elements and added details that allowed me to move forward in the writing. Today I present to you the stagecoach of Fantastic L.A.
Itinerary :
Use the wind. Choose a route with a starting point in the direction of the wind. The routes are not known until the day before departure.
1880
Equipage :
– Choose horses resistant to bad weather (thick coat protecting them from snow and rain).
– Change the hitch at each belay to avoid tiring the horses. Give them water and feed them well.
– Use specific harnesses and straps leaving them free to move while allowing support while driving.
– Horseshoes and hooves. Change, clean, brush.

Characters creation
During the writing process of Fantastic L.A, I drew sometimes elements of the story. To create the fictional character of Hortensia Tercero, I was inspired by the first women’s fencing competitions. The action takes place in the 19th century. Hortensia decides to take a stage coach, firmly deciding to go to the place.

California Dreaming
Radio is an important vector of information and culture. Before writing the first draft of my book Fantastic L.A, I supplemented my research by reading books on California history, articles and also by listening to the California Dreamin podcast series.
