@BrokenViews First off, I want to say that I'm really glad you liked my story. I'm completely blown away by the fact that someone just stumbled across my story and actually liked it.
I don't feel I am the best person to give advice on writing, because I'm still sort of learning myself, but I'll tell you what got me to this point.
Writing is an art form, and like all art forms, it takes time and practice to perfect. If you had seen my stories from a few years ago, you'd probably cringe, (I know I do every time I look back at it.) but practice makes perfect. I have, by no means, perfected my art, but I'm trying. That's what I like about this website. You can post your artwork on here and find out what people truly think about it. Don't be scared with what others think. Embrace the criticism. Remember, behind every great story there are a million failed attempts and ideas. I completely rewrote The Grand Puppeteer because it felt better in first person. If something doesn't work, try another angle. And never give up, because even if your work isn't the best now, keep working at it, and I'm sure it will be.
