Your write up is satisfactory, but you are repeating the names many times,you should avoid that,English is readable but you have to improve, write one more story and this time
a rich lady and her preferences you take as subject. I will help you what ever you need. Thanks

Every piece of story must have a message or thread of meaning running through story. This theme is the skeleton or framework on which you hang your plot, characters, setting etc. As you write, make sure that every word is related to this theme. But remember every excess word is a word that dilutes the impact of your story. So avoid using excessive words.

Different writers have different methods and basically you need find out which way works best for you.
Some writers outline the whole story from start to end to follow as a guideline. The flesh out the specifics later.
Others write from the seat of their pants in an improvisational method. The come up with the basic story line and just go for it.
I'm sure there are many other methods of writing but the above two seem to be the most common.
The other things you have to take into consideration is what kind of story are you writing. Is is fiction, non-fiction, a novel or short story or news story? There are different methods for writing each.
There are some carginal rules though:
1. Write for yourself AND the audience
2. Write about what you know
I can't tell you how many people are put off by reading errors about something in which they know more about than the author. If a character plays guitar and the author mentions it has five strings or someother wrong information that is common knowlege it is not a good thing.
