ok, may we talk hypotheticals?

i need advice then or maybe a gentle shove and some help in developing a long term goal for my trees, all of which are young and still working on trunks and nebari.

ive been reading and rereading all the information i can get my hands on, and the thing that i keep running into is that it seems really broad and general which i unserstand the reasons why but i thinking it would help if i could post a tree and get several peoples very specific feedback on what they would do and when everything from a fertilizing schedule to what they would do to move the tree closer to being a bonsai....
so here's my tree, if anyone feels adventurous enough to try be my guest...\

it a trident maple 4-5 years old, potted in run of the mill bonsai soil. it's about a foot tall and 15 inches wide, the trunk is about 3/4 of an in.

the picture is from a week or two ago and the tree has leafed out and is doing quite well sorry maybe i can work on a newer picture tomorrow?
