The very first blog post I read this morning was THIS by Nathan Bransford, former agent now full-time author. Wow. Kind of info overload on the entire controversy surrounding Indie Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing. I highly suggest you read it. But be prepared for a long post and a LOT of comments on it.
This brings up the subject for me of what I am planning on doing with Eden. I'm only just over a month from being done with it. While most people have assumed I will publish independently again and my husband thinks I should go that way, that's not what I'm currently planning on doing. I've been planning on trying the traditional route.
I feel so torn right now. What is the right thing to do?
Decisions are too hard sometimes.

Oo I just read that post and am thinking of posting my own thoughts from it... someday. It was a good one though!
As far as Eden goes. I don't think it would hurt to shop it around. See what happens. You might be surprised. And if not, then you know you have the awesome indie community to embrace you. :)
Give yourself a deadline, say 8 months to get an agent or sell it to Flux or whatever. When I have a deadline I freak out less. :) If you want to try the traditional route you should try the traditional route. Going indie doesn't mean you can't, it means you are in charge of your career.
I agree that you should try to find an agent for it. Then if nothing happens you can always publish it yourself. I had an agent, lost her, tried to find another. It's been a long, hard road. So I finally decided that self-publishing is better than letting my books sit around doing nothing.
Keary, I know so many writers who are in your same shoes right now. I wish I had some wisdom to share, but I'm just embarking on the same journey. Best of luck and new follower:)
iPhone battery life is continually one of the biggest complaints from users. At the iOS 9 announcement Apple addressed this by telling us about how this new software update will fix iPhone 6 battery life specifically, but that’s not the only device that will see better battery life thanks to iOS 9.
