Has your attitude changed to self-publishing, and if so, why?
I still intend to get published via the traditional route.

I tried the traditional route first...and failed. So, being hugely disillusioned, I self-pubbed.
I thought I'd do the same with the second book, but the conventional part of me still wanted a 'proper' publisher. So I carried on submitting...and succeeded.
You must try and never stop trying. Follow the submission process before you go down the self - publishing road. Remember, behind every good book there is a knackered author ;)
You cant know unless you try.I will go with my heart and try the traditional route first.I think I have done so many hard things in my life and I am willing to try first.

Like Damien said, just keep on trying :)
