Finding a publisher

I am ready to find publisher #6 to be rejected by, but naturally I keep finding self-publisher ads appearing on the list. Let's get something straight here. I do not have hundreds of dollars laying around to see see my novel printed, I have a computer hooked up to a printer if I desire to see my novel in print. And what am I going to do with 100 copies required to purchase from these self-publishers. Sure I can give them away to everyone I know so these books can lay untouched on a bookshelf while my wonderful friends and family pretend to be delighted by my story.

I am not giving away copies of my story I worked on for over a year so they can be used as coasters or decorations on a shelf. I write for people to enjoy reading. I have my story on a blog. Has anyone I gave that address to looked at it? Of course not, I put a site meter on it. I am frustrated to a T. I better go. Working firl has to pay the rent, and the electric and cable bills too. Post later. Bye!
