I left my small publisher to self-publish and committed to treating my novel career like a full-time job. It was a very successful move.

I'd also like to add that by being an Indie author we get to have more control over our own books. Indie authors control the price, the distribution, where we choose to tour or if we choose to do so. The best thing is also is when we finish writing a novel, we can get it available within days. Being with a publisher, novels usually take a year before they are available in the bookstores.
I'm still greatful for the tips you gave on Konrath's blog, LJ.
