If it doesn't violate the rules, I'd like to see it. You seem pretty articulate. Be interesting to see what you come up with.
As a writer myself, I know how important feedback is. And you have to start somewhere.
After publishing almost 4,000 magazine and newspaper articles, I began my first novel, about half done now. I learned to flesh out characters and use dialogue effectively by writing TV fan fiction. One tip: just hide in the room and watch as your characters speak. If you know them well, all you have to do is listen to them in your head to know what they're saying, and how. Writing good dialogue is often the hardest thing in fiction. I have a pal who's written many articles and several non-fiction books. But he cannot get past a dialogue block to write fiction.
What the characters say and how they phrase it helps much in shaping them for your readers.
Warmest wishes for success!
