Newcomers! Forum Ray - Writing as the Ann Stori..

I hope this forum is still live - I noticed a lot of posts were 8years old. I'm writing this at the end of September, 2025. I'm an aged person from the UK. I write to try and tame my Dyslexia / DTD or whatever - depends on who is analysing me.  Anyway, I sort of write. I would like to try a sections from some stories and poems out and of course reciprocate. I don't believe I would ever be published, but I would like to know if I am wasting my time, and yes, read snippets of other peoples. It would be nice to know I'm not whistling into the wind. Cheers.
