Hey thanks Kayla! And actually I think it's gonna be different this year because semesters and Idk how they work. Haha. So I MIGHT end up with Creative Writing at some point. No problem (: Do you mean college semesters? And yeah, hopefully you can take it. Like, I'm excited because I've been waiting for this type of class forever... but I'm also nervous because what if the teacher doesn't like my writing/I just get nervous when sharing my work and such. No, Im in Highschool. I've only had trimesters before.

Hey everyone, what I'm about to say is something that is a more mature topic and I understand a lot of people on here are younger. I just wanted to give those of you that are younger a quick heads up before you read on.
I recently came across this tumblr page called 'Writing With Color' [http://writingwithcolor.tumblr.com/FAQ], which I've been looking at. It's extremely useful, in my opinion, for writing and describing characters of colour (CoC). As you will know and may or may not acknowledge, this world is filled with racial and ethnic diversity. A lot of us here write in the fantasy/sci-fi genre in worlds we have made up all on our own, and I believe it is crucial that those world's are filled with the same diversity. Representation is a key element in fighting racism and as writers, I am of the opinion that we should all be including CoC in our writing. If you are white like me, you may have grown up like me, in a community of mostly white people with a serious lack of diversity and therefore a lack of education on such topics. You may have never even thought about including non-White characters in your writing, for one reason or another. I know I'm rambling here, but I just believe it is extremely important to represent, especially if you are wanting your piece of writing to be published and read by the masses. So, what I'm trying to say is please explore that tumblr page and learn how to represent CoC without being offensive and promoting stereotypes.

Hey guys! I've managed to injure my dominant hand, so I'm going to take a while to type anything, and it may have typos in it.
