"There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you"

-Maya Angelou

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

Problem is, I don't know at what point my writing is mature enough to share with others.

Even if I do feel like sharing something, I'm never sure what platforms I should post to. It seems to me that sites like medium only help if my writing is already somewhat engaging...which kinda defeats the point of getting feedback early and often.

I'm quite lost here.

This site is a place you can post your writing for feedback. You earn "points" to let you post your work by critiquing the work of others. It helped me in the past. I'm struggling to produce right now, so it's a bit beyond me, but it might be the sort of thing you're looking for.

Thanks! This looks like it might do the trick. I have a feeling my ADHD brain will be stuck on a crit loop without ever submitting anything but it's a place to start.

There is a typo in one of the reviews on that page and it's killing me. 😭

Go write a critique of it then
