I have a stress disorder, but when it's something I have control about it's more manageable than when it's something I can't really do anything against. :}

Yea uncontrollable stress is the issue. I like to plan ahead and have a strategy for everything, but if it's something new and uncontrollable I also tend to be more stressed I guess.

I mean traditional publishing, with a publisher as opposed to self-publishing. With a publisher, they giv eyou a deadline. And it's not exactly great to start writing a book two weeks before the deadline XD That's what I fear would happen. But with self-pub there's a lot going on and I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle all that.
But it's a story for a few years from now I guess.


I have control issues. If I can't control or predict something, I stress out, a lot. I feel you.

I wouldn't say I have control issue, but I like being in control or to share the responsibility with a person I trust. And I am good at it :D

mem,
Aaah that's what you meant, obviously it's harder to publish by yourself only

I just like it when the situation is clear and predctable. I hate surprises. Today I was surprised on a call at work. Wasn't nice. Almost shat my pants from the stress.

Responsibility isn't for me, especially with things I don't care about. If I care, put me in charge, if I don't, give it to soembody else cause I'm gonna maybe do it well, but it'll ruin me stress-wise.

Yeah, but it's supposedly worth it if done right. You have control over everything, so you're responsible for everything (either your success or failure, but even that sometimes can be just bad luck on your side) but the major upside is the money. In self-publishing you get all the money instead of something silly in traditional publishing. It depends on what the author's okay with and what they expect.
