Hello everyone.
I have been writing off and on for quite a bit now. Looking at how old my account is, I'd say I have at least 2 years of unfocused writing under my belt now. In that 2 years I have worked on very big projects, which have all inevitably led me into deep spirals of ceaseless worldbuilding. While worldbuilding is very enjoyable, it is not very productive for developing writing skills. So I have decided that I would like to write free short stories before I even want to think about taking the leap to publishing. My imagination is not lacking, but my writing needs some work. These short stories should give me enough experience to undertake the big projects I have planned. Besides that, I think writing free short stories could get me a bit of an audience if I become good at it. What sites do you recommend for publishing such stories? I am looking for a constructive environment(s) with lots of people willing to read new works on it. The stories I wish to write currently lean more towards the non-fantasy side, so I don't think the showcase section of this wonderful site is very appropriate. Plus my aim is not really to showcase my skill, but to entertain.
Thanks in advance,
