Well, the past week has been full of excitement and humility for me. I managed to get part one of my story posted, received a bunch of great comments and well wishes, and realized just how easy it is to miss mistakes and errors in something written. When you read or hear "let as many people proofread your work as possible" listen to that advice! On that note, I've gotten proofreading help for the parts to follow. I've also gone back and edited part one to correct the text a bit. No plot changes were made but many small errors in grammar and punctuation were fixed. Those corrected chapters will be up later today.
I've already learned a lot, both in the basics of writing and in how readers interpret my attempts to tell a story. Hopefully, this will lead to improvements down the road. Part two is coming... soon!
