And the reason it is an improvement is because my first draft wasn't so great. No. Well, yes, but not the point. I think Dr.Bob asked why it is an improvement referring to what makes it an improvement. "It wasn't so great" is not the answer. His question was for you to stop and analyze how The Wizard told the story and why he did it that way. It's your first story and it's okay that you don't know very much about telling stories, but the thing is for you to really concentrate and observe the elements used to make the improvement, so you understand them and then you can use them for yourself. It's not a "Oh I like it, I see some things you did to it", it's more like a "Well, lets see what things changed and then lets think why did they change". And, like everyone else, you could make a mistake on your conclusions, and don't worry about it, there's people here to help you.

Don't rush your story, write it on your computer -like in a Word or other program- and take your time to make it, get to know the characters, the environment in which they are, the conflict, how it affects the characters, what scars it leaves, etc.

This is like my little tip for you to have in mind. And of course, enjoy writing and enjoy your story! Good luck with it!
