(im gonna start typing in lowercase because the setting on my phone is on it and it's aesthetic. this is an easy-going book and i don't care about grammar)

okay so last night i was sitting up until 4 in the morning, surfing the beautiful site
we know as wattpad.

i've been wanting to write this chapter since i even thought of having a random book for my thoughts, but didn't quite know how

i've been wanting to write this chapter since i even thought of having a random book for my thoughts, but didn't quite know how.

but i realized something...that's the point.

so we all know how most stories go, right? mary sue, convenient plot...whitewashing?

this is a problem in so many people's stories, my own included

this is a problem in so many people's stories, my own included. i feel as if my books and predominantly white. i only have like, one or two POC (person of color) characters and it honestly hurts my soul. the ones i do have could be seen as mere sidekicks meant to make smart comments.

that was not my intention, but could be judged as so. i'm referring to kate mavis, to those who read my shiz.

now, kate is portrayed by the beautiful logan browning. i have always pictured her as that. she is an intelligent, beautiful, strong character. she's brutally honest at times, yet so fragile because of her past.

the thing is, although i genuinely love and appreciate her as a character, and I'm going to bring out the best in her...she's still a side kick
