Non-Native English Speakers
It was so bad I didn't have the confidence to show anyone my work, out of fear of been mocked. The one person that saw it laughed at me. After that, I deleted all my drafts and gave up.
I started writing again and while my grammar has improved, I know my punctuation still needs a lot of work.
So non-native speakers like me, how did you start writing, what were/are your struggles, how did you get ahead? Please share with me.

The person who laughed at you - do they speak another language? I'm guessing not.
What are your experiences?
