I agree. The counterpoint is not strictly "by the book," but what impresses me is what a good grasp you have of it as a basic concept. Most novices don't begin with complex ideas like this. It shows me you have aptitude and probably some talent for the compositional process. [I'm assuming you know what counterpoint is - if you don't, I or someone here will explain it to you.]
There are all kinds of things one might suggest to you, but what course to take really depends upon what you want to express through composition. Learning theory is a good idea, though not all composers are convinced it helps them be the composer they want to be. I personally believe it provides a solid foundation upon which you can build and do anything you like.
Continuing to experiment is a good way to go in any case. You might want to try emulating the kind of music you enjoy listening to, and eventually your own voice will emerge as you become more comfortable and fluent.
