I consider writing to be liberating. It’s the best prescription for me when I'm grumpy. I love giving/receiving constructive criticism. I write if the situation arises--or to make it personal, if I feel the situation. I’m a Somali residing in Minnesota. My goal is to be published in both Somali and English. The Writing.com has given me a niche, a community within the larger community ! I once was embarrassed in my literature class after writing that Shakespeare lived in medieval times!
