Becoming an English writer as a foereigner (1)
Is it possible to become a perfect English literature writer as a foreigner who has never lived in other countries? I doubt it. It might be impossible to know delicate English expressions without experiencing the culture.

Do you mean "as a foreigner who has never lived in an English-speaking country"?
Certainly some non-native English speakers have written great classic works of English language literature: Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, and Vladimir Nabokov come immediately to mind, but there are others as well.
These writers did spend long periods living in English speaking countries, though.

There are no perfect writers, and you already write better than many native English speakers. :)

I don't know how much you can master, but I know you can still have something in pretty decent English to be proud of.
Your English does seem clear
Wanting to write is still a love for writing. :-)
Emily Dickinson wrote about war, when she never went to war.
If you like writing in English, feel free to enjoy it.
also, you may end up traveling one day anyways.
