I'm resisting the urge to read the Harry Potter books, then watch the movies just to relish in Draco Malfoy fanfics DX

Hi, I was just sorting through my followees when I came across your profile. I don't mean to spam, but I noticed mentions of the Vampire Diaries and other vamp romance, and I've got a recommendation I'm super excited about rn that I think you'll enjoy:
          "Lakeside Vampirical" is about Talia, a girl with hyper-potent VanHelsing blood, but uniquely no ability to practice magic and defend herself. She has spent her life both in hiding from and under the protection of a charming but domineering Pureblood Vampire who swore to one day make her his "blood slave." What happens when he finally comes for her, and when her heart struggles to decide between him and another?

Ok so do any seasoned writers have any tips for a beginner trying to start writing a book? I have so many ideas for stories I'd love to write. I've even just tried short story writing and as soon as I start I get a sort of stage fright for writing. Constantly over-analyzing my writing from a reader's standpoint and changing it dozens of times before usually just losing motivation. I am a very good writer so I'm told, never gotten anything but praise by all my peers and even fellow wattpad writers who I've consulted. But when I sit down to put an idea down on paper that I intend to show to a broad andiance like Wattpad, I can't do it. Anyone have any advice?

@TheyCallMeDr I've always found the blank page intimidating, so I start all my books off with an extensive 'story plot' to organize all my character details, and write out the general plot of the story so I know where it goes. I've actually got a pretty good google docs template if that'd help you at all. That recommendation I just gave you, "Lakeside Vampirical," has a 59-page story plot. (a little overkill but I've added to it as I went)

And with platforms such as Tiktok shadowbanning and censoring content, it's important more now than to speak up about the Black live matter movement. Anything. Even just acknowledging the current situation of things. Literally anything. There's no excuse to be silent. If you aren't educated about what's going on. Study, look at the news, read articles, hell watch a TikTok about it, there's plenty. It's scary and the rioting is intense. But the quicker you want justice the louder and harder you fight for what's right. And right now, silence isn't it. I don't want cities burned to the ground because an entire justice system fought to protect murderers instead of seeing the people's clear message that the times are changing. It's sad it takes a camera with an entire world behind it to finally push the public over the edge but it was time that some REAL changes be made. And if you've gotta burn down Targets entire company line then I guess it's time to pull out the gasoline 
          And if you don't agree then kindly unfollow me I have nothing to offer you.

Honestly protest could have been the answer, peaceful, organised protesting. I personally feel that time has past however. DECADES of social injustice and protests only for what? Maybe a dozen arrests and a week at best on the news covering the "story".  People are fed up. White, black and any race in between. We've been sitting inside listening to the same man who just said on an official twitter account calling protesters thugs and encouraging lethal force for months now . Floyd's death was not the first but was the filmed and it won't be the last. What's happening may not be orthodox but it sure as hell is starting the unification that this horrid country needs. But on that note 2020 is going to run this planet into the ground. We are fighting for a future that might not even exist come December if it keeps going like this 
          
          Also PS. to any protesters please be safe things are truly getting crazy out there and I am with tou in spirit ✊ #Blacklivesmatter #NoJusticeNoPeace

We been protesting in “peace” For how long,  but now that we start protesting aggressively we actually get somewhere. I kinda half agree with you ✊
