Repeat after me:
The first draft just needs to exist
The second draft needs to be functional
The third draft needs to be effective
The first draft just needs to exist
The second draft needs to be functional
The third draft needs to be effective
The first draft just needs to exist
The second draft needs to be functional
The third draft needs to be effective
Remember, the second and third can't happen if you don't have something to work with. Your first draft will always be shit compared to your third, but at least it exists. The worst first draft is an unfinished one. The best first draft is a just completed one.
You read books/stories not in their first draft form-- only in their finished form (third, fourth, sometimes fifteenth draft). So stop comparing your first draft with a final one.
So, just write--you can make it better later. Perfectionism is the greatest weight a creator can carry.

"Nearby, a collection of the island’s residents, both mundane and supernatural, gathered at the teahouse for lunch under the guise of discussing the floral arrangements for the upcoming May Ball. But the true purpose of their early luncheon was to catch a glimpse of the new Guard Captain, rumored to have pointy ears, sharp fangs, and a fearsome set of claws that could tear a man apart.
For a populace well acquainted with vampires, this was less a point of concern, and secondary to the reports that he was tall, ruggedly handsome—and as far as the frantically churning rumor-mills of the island could yet determine, romantically unattached."

Meet the monster fuckers Floral Arranging Committee.
Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra, book one available now in two different editions.
Buy the (high heat) Flirting With Fangs Edition Here.
Buy the (medium heat) Fluff and Fangs Edition Here.
Why are there two versions, and what’s the difference? Glad you asked!
Don’t forget to check out the listed content warnings and corresponding heat ratings on my website at www.joydemorra.com
Alt text is provided for screen readers, with another image ID under the cut due to length.
Image ID: A collage comprising 9 images, all overtly pink and floral. The top left depicts 3 pressed flowers, one orange, one red, and one purple, against a pink background. The top middle shows a feminine figure in lacy but inaccurate Victorian attire. The dress is slipping from their shoulder provocatively, and their hat conceals their face. The top right image depicts the outline of a wolf’s head against a pink background.
The left middle image is a picture of a cup of tea surrounded by many different flower cuttings. The center middle image is pink with the words “Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra” in ornate font. The middle right picture depicts mini-cupcakes decorated in pink buttercream, topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
The bottom left image depicts a vector image of two feminine figures having tea across a table, set against a pink background. The bottom center image shows a photograph of three feminine figures wearing pretty but inaccurate Victorian attire again. They are seated behind a table laden with cakes, drinking tea. Their faces are a mixture of interest, scorn, and scrutiny. The bottom right image depicts a pressed purple flower set against a pink background.

Serious question for fanfic readers. If you abandoned one of your works and someone comments asking you to come back, should I reply or should I ghost them? I'm serious, I don't wanna be a dickhead but I'm really not going to finish this story I'm sorry 😭😭😭

Warnings for snippet included at end of post in case they bother anyone: mention of blood and a knife.
Alright, so here’s the deal. I know I said I would only share a single snippet of my book before publishing, but I am not a secretive person in the slightest. I want to share the whole plot, spoil it all, but I must behave.
So, instead, I will be allowing myself to share 5 snippets in total. That being said, I am laying out some rules for what I can share.
I will not share any spoilers 🫣
No dialogue (apart from the first snippet I shared) will be revealed to be said by a certain character 🤫
Nothing steamy will be shared 😏
Those rules are the ones I will follow. I am going to be good and stick to them! Don’t let me break them! If I do, banish me forever!
Okay, here we go, the second snippet from my book! Added some tunes because I like the song and it fits.

I find myself fantasizing confronting you
What if I wrote a letter or visited you
My friends want to send this blog to you
I hope to publish one day but who knows if I do
Maybe it'll help someone else too
I could tell you all the chances that you blew
I wish I didn't have to protect myself from you too
You'd share how my boundaries hurt you
I won't share who I am or what I do
I won't let you see the house that I grew
God may have forgiven you but that I won't do
All of my life, I've never mattered to you
When it comes to me, there's no follow through
You birthed me and I outgrew you
None of my trauma will compare to you
There is no competition, your pain is true
But so is mine, even if not to you
So I'm done with trying to help you too
Now it's just me even though I miss you
I'll love you forever but I deserve love too

Hello Fellow Writers
Hello!
You can call me Kitty. she/they, biromantic asexual.
This is a side-blog for my personal writing since my main blog (@kittyphoenix12-xx) is fandom orientated, but I’m extremely active on both so don’t worry about that.
I’m also posting book reviews here because I like to read and share my opinions. I’m studying English Lit and Creative Writing at Uni.
Goodreads account if you want to be friends <3
my book reviews are under #kitty’s reading roundup
Writing: I write everything. novels and novellas, poetry, plays etc
Genres: I would say I write everything but romance, but the first novel I finished was actually a romance so that would be a lie… I’m mainly writing LGBTQIA+ contemporaries because I don’t have much time for major plotting/worldbuilding, but I’m slowly worldbuilding my major fantasy world and my dystopian (yes, I have both) but I’m getting there.
WIPs: I have over 75 book ideas and out of those books ideas I have seriously started six of them.
Leather Jackets and Flower Crowns: the romance novel that I set myself as a challenge, since I hate reading this genre. But I love my characters so much and I’m actually on the re-drafting stage since I reached 50,000 words and then hated the plotline lmao
To Do List: probably my darkest WIP since it deals with depression/suicide, so I probably wont talk about it as much without a bucket loads of warnings, but this book is so personal to me, and I do love my characters
Nice Guys Finish Last: this novel frustrates me because it’s supposed to be about the ‘nice guy’ and how he’s not actually that nice – BUT I HATE HIM SO MUCH, so drafting is slow
Pirouettes and Paradiddles: the gay ballet/tapdancing novel that I’m writing because tapdancing isn’t that popular and as a tap dancer it makes me sad
Clues To My Brother’s Murder: this book is so chaotic, and I love my baby Ellen so much even though she’s batshit insane. It needs to be said that for a murder mystery, I did not plot any of it and I keep changing the murderer every other chapter so even I’m confused now
A Thing With Feathers: my most recent (as in this July) and it’s the goddam play. Uhh, it’s gay? Idk, I’ve written one act. (COMPLETE)
Feel free to ask me questions, get me to ask you questions, follow me, ask me to follow you. If you have a book, I’ll probably buy it. Ugh, idk man.

Parvati plucked a blood red bloom from a vine as they passed it, spinning it between her fingers by its stem. “I have wondered since the son of Odin came to us, if he did not herald something greater, something powerful, now set into motion. The balance shifts, Ra; even this far east, we have felt the ripples. And here you are, come so far from Egypt on such an errand as this. I begin to fear the answers you bring with you.”
In truth, so did he. But there was still hope. Until he spoke to Lucifer, he would not doomsay. Not even if Parvati, a goddess more sensitive to the balance of divine powers than any other he had ever known, had felt the change.
The gods need not be beholden to fate, or else what purpose did such power serve at all?
Wielding Fate is a Patreon Exclusive serialized Fate of the Gods Novella retelling the events of Forged by Fate from the perspective of Ra and Athena and revealing A WHOLE MESS OF SPOILERS along the way!

A rainy day here in Florida. My dog is snoring on the couch, the coffee maker grumbles on the counter, and my roommate just turned on a chill vibes playlist on Spotify.
We ride, we vibe 🤘🏾
I’m also thinking of making a wattpad account so I can write under a pseudonym 🌚🌝 we shall see

Hi everyone!
I've been writing fics for years and finally published a book all of my own! I'm incredibly excited about the whole thing!
I'm nervous because not only did I write the book, but I edited and published it myself too, and I'm sure there's some mistakes I've missed. Despite everything, I'm really proud of what I managed to accomplish.
If anyone wanted to have a look, or is interested in a medieval book about a girl with magic, here's a few links :)

Amazon AU -> shorturl.at/hjFMQ
Booktopia -> shorturl.at/dgDU1

The only snippet I’ll share of my book before publishing. I can’t wait to finish it, it’s been a long time coming and am so happy that I have the support I do. So here is just one line of dialogue: cherish it and love it because it’s all anyone is getting. I’m just so excited, I could NOT share!
