Well, this time I will let it go and next time I will get someone to proof read to remove the typos before I post here.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Proof reading and the editing process is always the most difficult part. I do it as I have to. I type badly and with two fingers. Frequently, I miss out words when typing. Diction and syntax is just not the same when typing probably because I grew up writing longhand and subsequently, transferring it to text. However, difficult a process it is, you simply have to proof-read.
You might find sites like urbis.com useful as the critique facility from peers and in many cases free proof reading service offered by users can be invaluable. I used the site extensively a few years ago. Somehow, what I checked the site before responding to your post, it wasn't showing up. Perhaps it is down?
I can't read on the screen so would have to print out your story for a read during the week.
