A Commentary on Publishing My Sister’s Novel 035

It’s a lot harder to publish her work than it was to offer my advice when she was writing This Mortal Coil.

At this point, I am a bit over halfway through the 60 chapters of the book. I find I had forgotten how detailed and twisted the story becomes. Curating the serial publishing is difficult. I make no editorial changes or comments. The occasional correction only happens when I discover a left-out word of add a comma or other punctuation to make it easier to understand. For the most part, ITS NEARLY PERFECT in that respect.

I shall carry on with the remaining chapters until I reach 60. Then we’ll see if there is any interest in the other novel in the series, a sequel, as it were. If so, I will ask her son if he wants me to keep at it.
