Starter wires

What would happen if put a break in the ground wire of my starter solenoid? Can Anything bad happen from the hot wire from the battery still being hooked up and the ground being disconnected???

Not the best schematic but this is what I’m thinking
Will it start a fire if the ground is disconnected
