English Writing By Non-native Speakers Of English Group Forum Please tell us something about..

I was born in a small village in northeastern Turkey. Leaving home at sixteen, I traveled to England, where I finished my education. I first came to the US in 1973 as an exchange student, later making the move permanent. I studied drama, attending the Alliance Theatre School and SAG Conservatory of Georgia. I currently live in southern California. I have had several short stories published and Voice of Conscience is my first novel.

hi,i am iraqi,43years old,since i was only 14 i discovered this lovely world of literature,i read  lots in arabic,i read for English writers,american ,swedish ,and many others ,translations were bad so i began to read in English language,so i read a lot ,there were fits of reading for years ,it came a time when i thought,so now what ,my mind was full of thoughts ,i wanted to write, about what i see ,but any subject i come to think of there is no way i can write about it ,i would be harrased if not killed or jailed so i left it at that ,there was a dictator in my land so i fled away  i worked in many countries,i was all alone so i worked hard ,i am a doctor,it was 4 years when the dictator left office and handed it to the americans,i was glad ,i said at least we could have some peace and stability,so  went back home only it was not what i thought,the killings started ,so much chaos, the country came to ruins,i thought this is not the democracy i want ,already a million killed ,i would rather one of these poor souls come back to life ,and say bye bye democracy  i do not need you this way,sorry if democracy have to come through blood ,then i do not want it,its all for the oil ,i said to myself ,you stupid ,oil and money there is no democracy involved here ,too bad democracy did not work out ,huh huh ,and the chaos still goes on,thank you.
