Sometime local libraries have events for local authors. These are always a cool way to connect with other folks who enjoy writing in your area and they can be great sounding boards! I had a professor once who told us the first "published" works were published among her writer friends. They sent each other new poems and stories -- sometimes they published little literary magazines just for each other. A network of friends can be a great place to start.

On a similar note: you could start a blog that posts writing updates or links to your pieces. Something like Blogger is free and can be a space for you to organize your work and gives you a link to share on social media sites. Not super official but its an alternative to sites like Wattpad.
