I must say that reading the experiences of others here gives me more confidence about self-publishing. (The desire for traditional publishing is probably partly vanity, but also acknowledges my total lack of marketing expertise.)

Good luck with that as well. The other piece you should consider is what kind of control/autonomy do you want and how much of that do you want to take on or pay to have done for you. Also see this thread:
