    One of the cruel things writers are forced to do these days is the mandatory book tour. :unamused: That may be fine for an extrovert...but for an introvert? :cold_sweat:

    No excuses for those with chronic health problems, either--the author of Seabiscuit had to go on tour despite having CFS. Whoa! :open_mouth::worried::tired_face::weary:

    (As to the initial question: no, I would hate hate hate being famous. /shudder)

    I'd rather be rich than famous.

    If I was suddenly famous though I would wanna use it to be a voice for the environment. Dunno what I'd be famous for though lmao

    Lmao become a majority shareholder and just be like - 'I need you to turn me into a Sim and manage my life for me... also can you please handle the PR cos people won't leave me alone about that whole lottery ordeal... k thanx'

    I used to want to*, but there's too much stuff from my past that could come up and bite me in the butt.
    That's why I've got an anonomous YouTube channel. I want it to get popular, but I don't want anyone to figure out it's me behind it.
    Wow, I sound dodgy. I haven't done anything evil, I've just been pretty stupid before and I don't want the whole world to know about all my stupid mistakes.

    * partly for the attention and partly to use my voice/money to help others
    For a let's play about a vampire who wants to take over the world, check out my YouTube channel!

    No! I only want to be recognized in my field and lead a good life, with enough money to live well. I couldn't stand being recognized in the street. And fame never lasts very long nowadays anyway.
    I want to play ALL the premade families! One day...

    I once wanted to be a kpop idol. But then I realized despite they may appear happy, it isn't rainbows and sunshine. Let alone no privacy at all..so basically no.

    I want like my best friend to be famous, then I can just tag along and no one would really care about me but I’d still get some perks

    But deep down I’d really love to be famous. I know I wouldn’t be able to handle it, it would be a hate love relationship.

    No, I would hate being famous. I want to be a known author someday so that I'm making a considerable amount of money off of my books, but I wouldn't enjoy being famous at all. Even though I use social media every day, I don't really like to put myself out there too much. I don't post about my life very often online and when I do, it's vague and light-hearted. But if I had cameras following me around every day and every other magazine had my face in it and some article about what clothes I was wearing? That would drive me crazy. I enjoy my privacy and having my family and a small circle of friends know what I'm up to, not the entire world lol

    I don't have the best mental health and all the pressure would get to me.
    Now that I think about it, a lot of my favorite singers don't have the best mental health.. hmm... I get why you'd wanna sing about your issues though, it helps people, it helps me. But I can't imagine the pressure they go through.

    1. I'd like to be filthy stinkin' rich. Money may not buy happiness, but it can sure as hell get rid of stressful situations (of not knowing if you have the finances to make sure things get done)
    2. I wouldn't want to be famous though. My wife and I prefer our privacy.

    I would imagine being rich gives you some other kind of stressful situations.

    I don't want to be famous, I want my work to be famous.

    Nope. I'd rather be rich but not famous.

    Fame only gets you so far. There are so many famous people who could not take being famous and they ended up in trouble, hooked on drugs, or dead. Sometimes I think fame can go to ones head, although some famous people do quite well and are really great people. As for the question, I don't want to be famous but I would like to have money to live comfortably.
