@KeishaMartin I'm going to try both. I'm thinking I will self publish through amazon self publishing but also aim for traditional publishing as well. It's pretty damn tough out there. I'll see how I feel once I finish editing the novel. A lot of friends are having success with self publishing right now and you have a lot more control over your own work. I'm just keeping my options open.
You're right, to keep both options open, yep finding an agent is hard even harder getting a yes from an editor, I believe if a person never settles for a no the hurdles will eventually clear way to success.

Stranger girl we are officially friends lol will you post anything here? I may but small installments when first book is edited and see if people like story.
The writing is coming along fine. I'm in the editing stage of the novel and also a rewrite of the end. I should have it tied up by November so I can hand it to the editor I'm going to use. Once that is done, I am also starting book two. It's already outlined in a way and it will then just be a case of writing it. I also have book three, four, and five loosely outlined.
How's your novel going?
