Married life is pretty much like single life except now he owns half my yarn.

Actually, under California law, your premarital yarn is still separate property. But your post-marriage expenditure of time-effort-talent to turn it into socks is marital property. The final product is clearly of mixed character. (This is also referred to as The Full Employment for Lawyers Rule.)
However, your sentence leads to an intellectual property question which I hope Bakerina will soon be prepared to answer: Does the same rule apply to your yarns? In other words, Question Presented: If a Scrine sentence is based on premarital experience but written postmaritally, is there hope of claiming any premarital separate property interest in the resulting millions we’re all going to get paid for our words just any day now?

Dear ‘mouse:
I greatly appreciate your first argument.
Your second argument, however, has one fatal flaw. Sadly, I’m not sure we’re ever going to get rich off of Scrine - the vast majority of society is simply to illiterate to enjoy us much.

ah, but watch out for the irs which, even now, beats its path to the door demanding its cut of the value, if not the riches.

What e says is true. They’ll have 30% of each sock. (Why do you think socks always get holes in the heels and toes?) And if you don’t plan on paying up, you’d better have stashed your muse in a lead-lined box somewhere they’ll never find it.

Yes, I know about the impending IRS doom. What may save us, however, is that here it is August and I’ve earned next to nothing this year. I do have a trusty accountant in mind this year though.
