I spent a few hours coming up with this earlier this week. It's not very long or fancy, but it's an attempt at something I've never done before, so any advice is muchly welcomed. Originally, it was going to be longer, but I was having a really touch time coming up with a decent LH part for the melody, so I just cut it for now. Let me know how bad it is ;-)

EDIT: I goofed. Fixed version is up.

It sounds like it's all written in the Bass Cleff. That might be okay sometimes, but perhaps you should think about moving some of it higher. It DEFINITELY wasn't bad, though, for a first time.

That's because it was?

I figured the notes at my digital piano and wrote the notes out by hand, then took the score and copied it into FL Studio. I just got FL Studio like a week ago, and I guess I was off an octave ^^; I should have noticed that. An earlier version of my song had an A below the Bass Clef's A and it sounded god aweful in FL despite the fact it sounded just fine on my piano.
