Aside: What Happens After You Stop Writing

In case you missed it, Neil Gaiman posted recently about what might happen to your collected writings after you head for the Great Remainder Bin in the Sky. It involves writing something. You'll love it.

Some caveats:

• Neil Gaiman is not offering to serve on your Creative Property Trust.
• It's best to nominate people who can read, and who have heard of you.
• No-one is going to discover your "forgotten genius" after you die. It's 50/50 whether the people you nominate to your Trust will even look at it.
• Don't choose a lawyer who is going to sue everyone who writes a story about "a man and his dog", just because you scribbled the phrase on a napkin back in 1987.
