Any book that you write that you're trying to intentionally deliver a "moral" is gonna be shit.

A couple original projects I'm working on do heavily feature LGBT, mentally ill and/or POC characters and it is partially motivated by thinking "I'd like to see more people like this represented in fiction."

Mainly this means when I'm in the concept stage of making characters (like when I have an idea for a character in an 90's grunge band who becomes creates functioning alchemy [that was a really random example, I'm not actually writing that] I might think "What if I make them bisexual/black/etc. ?" and then possibly decide "Why not?") It just means I make a conscious effort to not fall back on a WHITE STRAIGHT MALE CHRISTIAN default when I can help it.

But foremost, when you're creating characters you need to ensure that above all else they're interesting and fleshed out (whether they be gay, straight, Latino etc.)
