I had edited chapter 51 before I posted it here; apparently, I had not been as thorough as I thought I had been.
I found several spelling and grammatical errors. They have been corrected.
My mother came over for a visit today.
She read the new chapter. She told me that there is a dramatic improvement in my writing since chapter 49.
She had read a few chapters prior to the more recent ones.
She informed me that I had failed at describing people, places, and objects adequately.
At first, I was upset.
I gave what she had told me some thought.
I looked at what I had been writing and realized that she was indeed correct.
I extrapolated that future chapters could improve, but only if I made a greater effort at improving my writing technique.
I am currently taking a lot more time on each chapter. I post them on another site of mine and take a few days instead of a few hours to create a new segment of this story.
I want each chapter to be better than the one that preceded it. I am working harder to ensure this.
I'm loving writing more and more, and I want it to show.
