I've Googled my name, but it's such a common name that I don't exists in Google's eyes. But at least my blog does. Google has awareness of it, therefore it is one step up from non-existence, lol.
My writing did improve over the last six months. And that was in that batch. But I do like the story for its uniqueness in terms of what I consider my usual style. But yes, the dream is to keep improving, absolutely.
Improvement is something that feels never ending. Being the best at something only cause complacency.
I agree. Always strive to improve.
