Bah humbug, the other answers should convince you that you can do it. Another story to remember is that Samuel Beckett was an Irishman who lived in Paris and wrote in English and French. I am not convinced you need to live in an English speaking place. And if you did, would you choose Goa or Singapore? Botswana or Cardiff? Nova Scotia or Dunedin? Whatever you do don't become a bad copy of a New York or London writer. If you can't live in a city of native English speakers you can mix with them in your local community. While they may not know all the latest tween slang, they will provide an unique and authentic voice for your characters. A writer writes.
