I wasn't really aware of how self-publishing works as I haven't researched any of it! I like Barrie's suggestion... just let it simmer for a while and I'm sure it will become more clear. I think if you gave yourself more time you'd start to figure out where you want your engery and time to go!Stephanie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17097106257851318283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-14548793795922929942008-04-08T14:39:00.000-07:002008-04-08T14:39:00.000-07:00Big decisions.

As in, can you let this simmer on the back burner for a few months? Sometimes things become clearer just with the passage of time...<BR/><BR/>p.s.

As you said, publishing yourself demands a lot of you, resource-wise, and sometimes it takes awhile to decide if that's how you want to invest your energy.Trish Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038324441006141430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-4071122213910944142008-04-07T17:19:00.000-07:002008-04-07T17:19:00.000-07:00Waffle my friend- it's good for the soul.

The traditional route is easiest for distribution etc. but there is no doubt you lose control. <BR/><BR/>For what it's worth I adore my agent, Rachel Vater at Folio Literary.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07967828178034612278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13449892.post-85789649141237055252008-04-07T16:26:00.000-07:002008-04-07T16:26:00.000-07:00There's nothing wrong with waffling sometimes!
