I like that you're realistic, which is tons better than being overly optimistic. Nothing wrong with believing in yourself as long as you understand the world you're working in.

For certain, the traditionally published author gets more respect from everyone -- not because there aren't awesome and very professional self-pubbed authors out there (because there are!) but because there is also, sadly, a sea of writers who used that method as "a short cut" and put out books that were not yet ready to be published. Those "premature" books tend to obscure the quality ones unless you how to find them.Dianne K.

I don't have the extra-curricular skills self-publishing takes... though I guess I could acquire them if properly motivated (like traditional publishing completely breaking down). *shudders* All we can do is make our own plans and stick to them.
