/lit/ - Literature

I just signed up for an online AP English lit class and I'm so nervous about having to share my thoughts in a public space with my name attached. I didn't really do school, I'm a hs dropout and even while enrolled I barely showed up. I want to improve my reading beyond a surface level and be able to better express myself in discussion but I'm so anxious that just signing up has me worrying if I'll even make it through an introductory class.

I'm not worried about the coursework, just having people critique my work.
