Q: your countdown timer could be zero today... it could take ten years to get to zero... it is an interesting way to feign progress, but it is not an indication of whether anything will ever actually be released... you could die tonight of a sudden stroke... the idea that any of us really have control is an illusion... you either release things as you go or you hold onto it until a time when you feel more comfortable and roll dice that things will ever be released at all... waiting to release our own creations, feelings, thoughts, etc is the biggest gamble any of us ever take
A: that's not true, there are slightly bigger gambles, depending on the circumstances
