Reread... reread... reread....
I found a couple structural errors. Or perhaps they could be called grammatical errors. The first was a quotation mark. I forgot to end a couple sentences properly. Dropped the quotes.
There were another couple of 'errors' that made a few sentences read oddly. The 'odd' bit was if you read straight through a section, they made perfect sense.
However, if you stopped at a paragraph that appeared to be a good subject change area to stop, went away for the day, came back and tried to start reading again, it was a little... awkward how it 'restarted'. I found three such places.
So... those things fixed and the story now having gone through at least a half dozen rereads with fewer and fewer changes, I feel better about it.
I will say, however, there is one more thing that I can add to the things that I've learned and would like to pass on to any other writers that happen across this page....
Reread... reread... reread.
