I love following the blog of Anne R. Allen. Anne is an author, and a well-known blogger for sharing up-to-date tips and helpful articles for writers on what’s current in the publishing world.
I thought it was important to share this post because it raises a question about what happens to a writer’s works and social media platforms if they were to die? This is a subject nobody ever really wants to think or talk about, but if left without consideration, we’d be leaving a little unfinished business behind and quite possibly a whole heap of royalties, if we are published authors.
Click on Anne’s link below, and get a wealth of information to protect yourselves and your loved ones in the event our inevitable end should arise.
Debby, I’ve seen this topic discussed on Facebook. Thanks for posting it here. Now I need to take action. Blog posts are intellectual property just like print media. My to-do list grows longer. Oh, vey!

No kidding Marian. Like I said, we don’t like to think about these things but they are a fact. I’ve looked after a lot of it last year when hub and I updated our wills. Now one day I shall copy my password book legibly so that if something happens to me, my executor can at least get into my social media. Always work to do my friend. π

Hi Anne. I just had to share this. I had read about this topic a year ago on Joe Konrath’s page and began organizing my writing life slowly since then. It’s an important subject that most writers don’t necessarily think about, yet must. As you know I love your blog, and now so many of my readers are grateful for this article. Thank you. π

Anne R. Allen’s post was very enlightening and made me think that even in death our work is not finished. π
Thanks for posting this. Not something we like to think about but necessary. Oh my, where will I find the time to do all this!

Lol, I hear you Carol. Our job is certainly one we can never retire from and still doesn’t die, even when we do. π

Hi Barb, nice to see you circulating around here. Yes, this is very important for us all; things we don’t normally give consideration. We need to share these ideas around. π

The move has been accomplished. Things are settled and now I can focus on writing. We moved from Cleveland to NC.
