Galastel's answer is a great guideline, but I would like to add the following:

I am not sure about whether you will get more feedback by writing in English. Of course more people will be able to read your story, but that people will also have many more other stories to read!

The reason? There were dozens of other courses in English, so it was hard to show why mine was worth it!
