I don’t quite know what to make of this. On the one hand, your prose style is strong and mature, the kind of writing that invites the reader in to whatever world you have created, and assures them that you won’t waste their time. Given your age, this is all the more remarkable. You have a natural facility with the written word. I hope you put in the necessary study and work to develope to your full potential.

On the other hand, I’m Not quite sure what this is. It is certainly not a story, although part of what I would call your gift is the ability to simply talk, conversationally, and still create a narrative flow that drives your words. Still, there’s nothing of a story here. Nor is it properly an essay, given that you are advocating neither for nor against a particular idea. Nor is it journalism, in that there are no real events under discussion. The content is entirely subjective.

What it feels like is a journal entry, the kind of personal musings and reflections on this or that that have occupied writers since the advent of the written word. There is a time-honored place for such writing; not only does it provide access to the inner workings of the writer’s creative process, it’s also a way to work out issues, passages or other elements that can form the raw material of more complex projects.

You might even find a place for this in the market. It’s certainly worth the effort. You’d need to research the venues to which you submit, but it’s easy to imagine an editor reading this and thinking,”Just what I was looking for.”

Good luck.
