take a deep breath. Exhale. Breathing is the most important part of your life.

Gettting somebody dedicated for days is work. That's a huge ask. Posting questions and snippets here is less work. Fits in with people's availability. Also free.

I'm going to give you some generic advice. Read Deb Chester's The Fantasy Fiction Formula. Might not be your genre, but it is a framework for telling a story where the hero faces problems and overcomes them in a way that humans enjoy reading. Also check out CS Lakin's blog and books and google up her 20 Key Scenes. Again, a framework for "what happens next"

A typical story should setup a hero with a problem, either because of his own goal or the antagonist's goal impacting him. Which set the hero in motion. What happens next is emotional reactions to the inciting incident, making a plan, trying and failing with that plan, learning and trying again until the big climax.

that's how you start to organize your work.
