I fucking agree. It's not like musicians get to put 4 songs on MySpace and say they have a recording contract. Getting published is HARD, maybe harder than the actual writing. I have a degree in creative writing, and a good portion of what we learned is how to get published. Getting a blog or a FanFiction.net account ISN'T difficult. I'm not saying your writing isn't GOOD if you're publishing it on a blog or what-have-you. I personally consider myself a blogger above all else. I'm just saying that publishing is a horse of a different color.

Agree. Being published implies that the work was put out for public sale (this is based on a few definition of that I looked up.) So publishing implies that money is involved, even if money is not the author's primary concern. That's what I'm getting from my mini research; I'd love to know more if you have additional information. :) So I guess publishing does not mean that someone has more merit or stamp of approval than another, as an above poster implied. And as you said, publishing is hard because you are competing with others. Author and book needs to stand out. The book has to be marketable (and sometimes the author simply isn't finding the right agent, but that's just based on stories I've heard of others.) Publishing is definitely different from posting a story on LJ or FF.net. Far different process.

Interesting topic.

It's not that difficult to make a book through Lulu, either, but it's still called self-publishing.

I see a difference between saying that you're published and saying you've published something. The former definitely implies that your work has been accepted by a publisher. It's something that's done to you. The latter, to me, implies something you've done yourself.

This. It sounds kind of weird and stuffy but I don't think it's objectionable to just say "I just published the last chapter" instead of "posted" or "updated."

This.
