While I can appreciate your anxiety, this does strike me as rather like refusing to get a job at McDonalds because you're worried you might get promoted and rise up the corporate ladder and become the CEO and become a millionaire and buy a mansion and marry a supermodel and then one day someone might slip and drown in your Olympic-sized swimming pool while you're having a wild party with your favorite celebrities, and you couldn't bear to have that death on your conscience. In other words, you're kind of looking waaaaay too far ahead and making a lot of really optimistic assumptions to get to this worst case.

NA Love the way you phrased this, you a writer yourself?

This comment is everything I wanted to say, but said wittier.

Well, okay, no, one more thing: Just how immensely A) financially privileged and B) hipper-then-thou are you that you think it would be a bad thing to have a production company buy the rights to your movie? The majority of authors dream about that possibility. And I'm not talking about cheesy, pulpy serial paperback authors. I'm talking about cool, intelligent, skilled authors. Because the majority of the time, they end up making more money off the movie rights and off of sales resulting from movie hype than they make off of the rest of their books' sales combined.

LOL, great example. But seriously, it does sound like an excuse. OP, even if your fear was likely to happen, so what if your book got made into a movie? Are you worried it'd be terrible? Because that happens all the time and I promise you, authors survive it. There isn't even any real backlash for the author because most people understand that the movie adaptation is something completely different from the book and out of the author's control.
