On February 27, 2018, we were given the chance to listen to writer, Carlos Hernandez. Majority of his work consists of science fiction, short stories, and poems. His most recent work happens to be Sal and Gabi Break the Universe, which is amazingly being published by Disney. Not only is he a writer but he also designed a video game called Meriwether.
Hernandez started off his discussion about his experience as a first-generation American. He then proceeded to talk about two of his poem and the process that he went through to get the finished product. He also discussed the struggles he faces as a writer, such as writer’s block and figuring out his own creative writing place. I personally enjoyed hearing Hernandez speak because not only was he humble about his experiences and success but he wasn’t ashamed to admit that he had failures throughout his career. It was also a great experience for me to see that your career can be something that you truly love and enjoy.
