I just read your work, and I personally think that it is such a sweet story. I think you can write better than what you thought. I hope I can read more of your work in the future!
Awesome work, I liked this short story very much. Man, I would like to offer you a partnership, for a project of mine. I'm a writer from germany and need an artist for my upcoming detective novel. I need somebody who could draw the headlines for my story and some illustrations for the "Encyclopedia de Beastica" any interests? If not it's ok.
However, I'm afraid I must decline the offer. I'm currently working on a visual novel project, and it doesn't leave me any time to do anything else at the moment. My deepest apologies.
I hope everything'd go well with your project, though!
