When author Carlos Hernandez visited Stevenson University, he gave the fellow students and I great advice on writing in general. Although I am not seeking a career solely in writing, I enjoy the task very much and his advice still applied to me. During his book reading, a student asked how can they eliminate writers block. Hernandez responded by saying that one should just start typing words because usually writer’s block indicates one is overthinking their response so by completing the thought with anything allows one to remove writer’s block.
Although, I do not wish to become a writer I would not mind merging some form of writing with my Computer Information Systems degree. Previously, before Hernandez visited our class I did not think it was possible to combine the two. Hernandez told the class about his video game writing experience and how his partner made an exception for him to write for the game being that he lacked coding experience. His partner made a program for him in order to help him still use the proper methods when writing for the game. Honestly, when Hernandez shared with the class this experience I became excited because this could be a new opportunity for me as well. I enjoy both coding and writing, so to be able to merge the two would be great. Without Carlos Hernandez visiting I still would be unsure of what exact route I would take career wise after graduating but now I have start.
