So we've talked about it a lot. In fact, there is a discussion about this going on right now. And I have mentioned many times before how I'm going to query for a set amount of time, and if that doesn't pan out (my first choice is to be validated by snagging a traditional publishing deal, but that's only because I'm not a great businessperson, and feel i need help in that regard) I'm going to self-publish, probably with a lot of help from a freelance editor who helps many other writers publish their own books, by taking care of formatting, cover design, and editing services.
Anyways, I read this article, and liked it a lot, so I thought I'd share it with you guys here, whether you KNOW you're going to self-publish, are considering all options, or just don't know enough about publishing and are gathering information to ultimately make the decision later.

I admit I've been focused mostly on writing and honing my skills these past years, and like I already mentioned, I'm terrible at promoting the businesses I already have (real estate and before that, costuming, which was word of mouth only). I hope this helps those who are trying to decide whether they want to query or jump into their own publishing business.
