Definitely started out as an ASA -- I spent so many years writing queries and anxiously awaiting replies.  I'd say that 98% of the agents never got past my query letters, which in my opinion weren't bad letters.  With my last book I didn't even bother querying anybody, although in the back of my mind I wish I had to see what would have happened.

I don't feel comfortable calling myself an "Indie" since I only arrived at this point because I had no alternatives (it wasn't a choice).  But for what it's worth, I've queried my last agent.  I get everything I need doing it this way now...
