  1. LitNet Forums

    I was very reluctant to subscribe to this Forum. I'm not sure why. My daughter told me for weeks that I'd really enjoy it and that she thought it would encourage me to start writing again. I don't fancy myself a writer but for some reason unknown to me, she kinda does. So in order to view some of her poems, which she wouldn't email to me, I did check it out.
