Hi @mathewdaddywah. As I mentioned on Discord, I have some feedback for you on your story, and some helpful links.
The main thing I wanted to share here is that we ask our writers to be sure to check for errors in their writing before posting. There are a few ways to do that. For example, if you draft your stories in Google Docs first, as we describe in this article, you will see many of the errors and can fix them by clicking on the suggested fix. But the best way is to use the free version of Grammarly. (Note that we ask writers not to use Grammarly to write or heavily revise their work with Grammarly, but only to use to fix grammar and spelling.
Here is an example of your first paragraph in Grammarly, with the errors underlined.
Another important step is to take your time, don't rush, and pay attention to details. For example, you found all of your images on Pixabay. That's "PixaBAY". But every source link is written as "PixaBABY."
