A few words from professor Will
Carmine Will is one of the characters of fiction created for Fantastic L.A.
Astronomer and lecturer, he works in parallel at the Los Angeles Observatory and collects art objects.
As you know, for several days will be visible the comet Tsuchinshan – Atlas with exceptional particularities. It was born in the Oort cloud an assembly of planets and celestial bodies, a journey counted in millions of years.
Professor Will invites all readers and you, patient Internet users to observe the sky from time to time, even if the events are not always the easiest. A little cosmic poetry.

The double
Specialist reviews in my profession are a very important contribution of knowledge but also of discoveries. Today I would like to tell you about the solaris magazine for which I have an annual subscription and which I read regularly. This journal contains a set of short texts written by several international authors. The main theme is fantasy and science fiction. I think that when a review is qualitative and monthly it is interesting. As a quantity of information, this is more easily manageable than too frequent publications. As a professional, I would like to write under contract for a specialist reviews related to my activity. The adventure seems exciting to me.
That said, one of the articles that interested me the most concerns a notion that is widely used in literature, cinema and other arts, it is the double. This double that can be an enemy or an ally and this in several other spatio-temporal dimensions. Sometimes it is an alter ego that questions us about this other self.
This literary process is not easy to implement. I advise you to test it in your story with one of the characters and to evaluate whether it is necessary, whether it brings new light to the discourse you want.
World book exchange service
On the site I approached several times different themes on the evolution of my profession. There is writing on the one hand but also the environment in which it is brought to move. A few months ago, I got a certificat following the follow-up of a course. It outlines the measures to be put in place for better accessibility of content within the specific framework of accessible books and publishing. A large set of concepts has been addressed in a general way. If you are wondering about this, the ABC consortium will provide you with more information.
Did you know that? there is a world book exchange service.
Character and description
When creating characters in my stories, I use several techniques. One of them is to create a kind of outline from several descriptive elements. I try to imagine their physique, their character traits, but I also invent a personal story for them, which may be family or other. If I want to flesh out the descriptive part, I don’t hesitate to practice by going to a public place where I can observe several people. I try to imagine that one of them is the character I want to describe. However, it is important not to stop only at what we see. We must also use the other senses. Then knowing how to appeal to emotions and our ability to see that the person in front of us probably has not had the experiences that the fictional character should live in the story.
News around accessibility of digital books
As you know, I like to inform you from time to time about digital accessibility. On the site, some notions have already been mentioned about the possibilities it could offer.
Although there are still some efforts to be made, the consortium working for accessible books has published an article demonstrating that progress has been made in the digital field.

Exchange around books
