After 33 comments, you've probably had your fill of "keep at it", but there's one point I thought you might like to hear slightly more on. I'm a voracious reader, and a new (read: unpublished) writer, so I tend to be a demanding reader. As I have the habit of reading a series in one go -- picking up the next book in the series as soon as I put the last one down -- I often catch the errors. But, those errors are completely unimportant in the context of a well-written, engaging story. It's only when the writing and story quality are poor that those errors feeling like glaring problems. I've a few friends who read the way I do & feel the same. I've read most of your novels -- I don't see the writing/story quality ever being poor.
Being so raw in my writing career, I'm glad to have the forewarning that it doesn't necessarily get easier. (And is probably more to the writer's credit if it doesn't.)
