Can anyone help me with my writing?
This is my story, in part inspired by the song The Hollow Pt. 1 by Eyes Set To Kill, and I guess it’s a little story that has to do with my name, MyClockworkHeart. Hope you like it! I’m an aspiring teenage writer that is looking for any criticism to help me become a better writer, because one day, I hope to have a book published. Well…here I go…
Maie let her fingers rest on the piano, sneaking a glimpse outside the window, hearing the faint ring of bells. She knew if she stepped outside, even if only for a moment, she would be smothered with all the sounds, the scents of Christmas. But, not today, today she was nothing but a mere doll, a piece of clockwork to play with. It was all because of one deal, one trade, and a desire to live.

It was cruel, but Lilah had no honor, no shame. The watchmaker felt absolutely no remorse in twisting the once human girl into a simple doll. She had no remorse in reviving the girl, to give her hope, only to take her lively beating heart away. That wonderful, working heart of Maie’s was now in a box, stored in behind mirror filled with vengeful souls. What that poor girl was left with was nothing but a piece of clockwork keeping blood flowing through those veins. At first, Lilah hadn’t thought that it wouldn
