Carlos Hernandez visited our class on February 26, 2019, and he talked about his experiences as a writer. Carlos was a good speaker, and he gave our class great advice about how to not let anyone’s opinion become an obstacle when writing. He told the class how he does not focus on the few negative reviews that readers post online about his work, but rather he continues to write and not allow it to discourage him. Carlos described that he attempted to create a workspace to write in, but sometimes writing whenever and wherever you are can be the best place for you to work, like in the New York City subway. I was very impressed by his success and how he is pressed for time by having to write a large number of words for his next book that is due soon. I wish him the best, and I hope that he is able to get a movie deal for one of his books.
