Goodridge, there must be some impulse within you that is prompting you to try your hand at this kind of imitative counterpoint, and what you have is pretty neat...I had fun trying to make it work. Did you look at the way I handled it (just as an example)? Did you understand what I meant? I hope you won't put this aside...I get the feeling that maybe now you think it's too much trouble with all the rules, but once you get beyond the exposition where the rules are rigid, things open up a lot.
Anyway, I hope you'll keep trying. One of the best ways to learn is by doing. If you wait until you think you have everything lined up that you need, like a proper teacher, you may end up waiting forever.
