SignWriting List Forum

Hi! My name is Patsy van Andel and am an American living in The Netherlands. I have always wanted to learn sign language, but have never taken the time to do so. While looking up sites for signing, I came across the sites about sign writing. I write children's stories and songs (though not yet published) and would really like to learn to write them in sign writing. I have contacted the Dutch Sign Language Institue and requested information on getting started learning Dutch sign language. I would also like to learn American sign language. I have downloaded the Sign Writer 4.4 and the Belgian fonts, but that's as far as I've gotten.
