I did have a little read, you're like a proper writer! Follow a friend of mine called @arbitrarykitten , she's a proper writer too!
In all seriousness, engage, comment and joining discussions is the best way forward as connection will begin to appear, the cream always rises and truly talented people will do well here, it just takes time. In 12 months I'll be asking for my 21cents back lol
Regards.
PS Is there any salaciousness in your tale and who dies at the end ?
