Making my will
Sep. 16th, 2018 03:47 pmIt's my birthday tomorrow which is never a cheerful time and possibly why I'm considering my will at the moment. I got a do it yourself will kit some time ago but there was some stuff to think through. I'm basically concerned with three things: My writing, my books and my rats.
I've got a contact person for the rats now; she runs a rat rescue and is quite a bit younger than me, which is important when you're considering what you want to happen years in the future. So any animals I have at the time will be looked after. I'm trying to work something out re the writing at the moment and have asked a publisher friend for input. It's possible it won't matter by then, given how things are at the moment, but what have other writers done or thought about this concern?
Then there's the library. I know any family of mine still alive then won't care. I could pick a friend to dump it on or just say "box it up and send it to the Save the Children Booksale people." If anyone wants to put their hand up, feel free, and I'll write your name down to receive the books. I've culled it fairly vigorously but there's probably still around 5-600 books here. I don't have any immediate plans for my demise, so you could be waiting awhile.
