Has it all been worth it?
My roommate worked at the university paper and published something I had written about the campus's ugliness and lack of character. It was published under a pseudonym because the architect who designed some of the newer buildings is very much alive and I don't want that kind of static.
Wrote for a couple school newspapers. Did some MMA journalism online for a while. Have done blogs and put some poetry snd shit out there too, but no glorious published Work of Art for me, yet.
No one on /lit/ accomplishes anything.

>Has anyone on /lit/ been published?
I self-publish ebooks through Amazon's KDP programme.
>What is the title of your best known work?
No one should ever give the titles of their books on here. Too many spiteful people lurking about.
>How long did it take you to write?
I crank out a 20k novella every 2 months now (with editing and proofreading). It used to take me 6 months to do the same.
>How long did it take you to get published?
The process itself isn't long. You just need a good cover, figure out a blurb, and fill out all the details needed. It takes about a day for your submissions to go live.
>Has it all been worth it?
Financially? No. The most I've made is about £15 in a month. This month, I've sold no copies of any of my books. It turns out that the fantasy/horror/sci fi genres aren't that popular, especially not short stories. I'll have to put together a collection sometime soon.
But emotionally/spiritually, it's been great. I enjoy writing, I only work part-time (with the writing being a good excuse for it), and I've felt more mentally stimulated since I began working on various plots. It would be nice to get sales from my work, but the work itself is a good enough reward as it is.
>Has anyone on /lit/ been published?
Yes.
>What is the title of your best known work?
Fuck off.
>How long did it take you to write?
A few months.
>How long did it take you to get published?
There are a shitload of magazines that'll publish anything, so not long.
>Has it all been worth it?
I'm only just beginning.
