Finals are almost done!

The thing about writing is.. I am constantly compelled to do it. The problem is that I am also trying to finish up my college education...
Mostly..
Mostly I write so many papers about things I don't really care about, and it kind of gets in the way of my creativity. Sometimes all I manage is poetry.
My tendency, my desire, my will, is to represent areas that I feel are not fully represented mainstream in literature.
I tend to see more opposite ends of the spectrum. Novels based off all black women.. or novels based off all white.. Where are the mixed folk?
I read an interesting statistic in one of my text books. In the book they had a pie chart on children and their ethnic backgrounds.. up until the 80s, when I was born, there was NO representation of people with multiracial background, even though there were likely plenty! Today, it is expected that multiracial children represent somewhere around 32 percent of the population.. this will only increase over the next decades.
This post is random, and yet it's what is on my mind now.. How do I make it happen?
Well.. I just keep writing..

Anyway more writings to come in a couple weeks! Just have to get through this last finals week.
