You had me riveted with this post from start to finish! I don't know what else to help you except have you join other writing groups.
The Isle of Write has an excellent feedback group. One of my other group the Promo-mentors has curie curators doing the Poetry and Fiction workshops so that is a good place to get noticed by Curie
You have been scouted by @promo-mentors. We are always on the look out for promising authors.
I would like to invite you to our discord group https://discord.gg/vDPAFqb.
When you are there send me a message if you get lost! (My Discord name is the same as the one here)
Thanks for the encouragement and tips. I'll find you on discord and make contact with the groups you suggested. May you be blessed today.
