I use everypoet.org. They are brutal, but you’ll get serious, valuable feedback from folks who have actually been published. It’s an amazing resource if you actually care about improving, but it will probably traumatize you if you’re just looking for people to tell you that you’re good. It’s up to you in the end, but honestly, there isn’t much we can do for you here on an atheist forum, ya know?
Sorry, but art is just that. if someone wants to mimic a pattern so what?
The worst thing anyone can do in art is copy or mimic. Nobody stands out by copying others.
Jackson Pollock and Picasso are not art works I would hang on my wall.
@Atlass, just be yourself. If you want to read others and pattern after them, that is fine.
My advice is to read everything, but in the end be you.
