Er, well, my husband doesn't "put up" with me for financial gain. Nor do I, him. We love each other. If we didn't, we wouldn't be married anymore. No drama necessary.
I've requested to him that if I die in the middle of an unfinished writing project, I want him to pass on the results to my existing readers via my blog. As for my existing copyrights... I don't know. I think I'd like to specify that they pass into PD when I die. I haven't decided yet. (This is why I haven't updated the will yet.)
I would of course love to make a billion dollars as an author. But I don't want to lose sight of my deeply held belief that I owe everything to my wonderful readers.
ETA: And he's a bedroom programmer as a hobbyist. I don't think we've had the discussion, but were he to die first, I'm pretty sure he'd like me to disseminate the code for whatever project he had going at the time. His most popular program is donation supported.
