well that's my version of analizing, I don't know about you maestros...

you get what I mean?
Please tell us where you are from and how old you are to put this into perspective, otherwise it really hurts the mind to read this.
Orchestration skills - more complex writing in music - are pretty much processed in the same brain areas than language processing. So it might be a better idea if you spare your environment your orchestration attempts, as I wold prefer you would spare us your attempts at using written language.

Writing scores has a lot in common with writing language artistically. First you have to master the many rules about spelling and grammar. From there you can start getting creative. But there is no shortcut.
I suggest you stick to a field that requires less knowledge and can be handled more intuitively.
If you happen to be a genius with melodic and rhythmical ideas only, you might want to think about hiring a skilled arranger.
