I'm new to /lit/ and was wondering if it was a good place to discuss my own writing and ideas.
I used to be in a Discord writing group but it turned into a carnival of drama and nothing ever got done. So I was wanted to know if /lit/ is the place to talk about your own writing and if not, what good sites are there to do so?

I'm terrified of letting people pick apart my writing. Also any writing forums invariably get taken over by egomaniacs looking for others to fuel their egos and tearing down anyone who even slightly disagrees with them.
Make a few close friends that share the hobby and stay away from the online cesspits.

I tried to have that. It's what the mentioned Discord group was at first. Then friends invited friends that invited friends and it turned into exactly that, a nest of egomaniacs.
I don't take criticism personally and that's why I wish to find some sort of community. My closest friends are not really into writing, let alone discussing mine.

How insightful.

Absolutely. There's usually a critique thread up or if you want to find some specific people there's plenty of writers here. I usually say you should look around in your own town and have face to face meetings.

this board isn't awful for finding someone to critique your work. Trying to do it with people you know in person is much better.
I know how hard it is to find people. I kinda had a thing going at my high school, but everyone was younger than me and really bad at writing and super defensive of their work.
