Carlos Hernandez

For 2/26/19

Carlos Hernandez is a writer/author who has created work that is made up of science fiction and fantasy. Many of his writings are poems, short stories, or novels like his most recent, Sal and Gabi Break the Universe. On the 26th of February, Hernandez came in for a discussion as well as a close read of two chapters from his new book that is expected to come out on March 5th.

After listening to Carlos Hernandez discuss his book and speaking to us about his writing experience, I’ve learned a few things. It’s good to fail many times when trying to write a great piece. The more you fail, the more you learn from your mistakes and become a better writer. It takes so much practice to write a good piece, especially since it’s a good idea to have others review it and critique your work. Most importantly, everything you have a passion for does not always have to be done for money. If you hardly get any money from publishing a novel, don’t get discouraged. If you truly love doing it money should not get in the way of doing what you love.
