Congratulations! Every step of the way there's something new to learn! Self-publishing isn't too hard--it's the marketing part I've always struggled with (and all those get-rich marketing articles). Going indie was definitely what I always wanted to do because I'm a control freak and I'm in it for the long haul, but good luck with whatever you decide. :)

Thank you! I’m starting to understand that traditional publishing doesn’t offer any greater chance of being financially stable than going indie

Yes, once I read how few authors make a living doing it it kind of freed up my thinking. Getting an agent and a publisher was more about my vanity in the end. And then I loved my characters so much I got to the point where I really wanted creative control. Plus you can take as long as you like to build an audience for your books and you own the rights. No one can give up on you :)
