Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I don't recommend trying to generate coins at this point unless you have a lot of money to spend on hardware and are fairly technically savvy. The current difficulty factor has placed generation out of reach of most people. However, if you post your address here, perhaps some kind soul will send you a few coins.

There is the possibility of a mining pool.

Since every hash generated has an equal chance of finding a block, a mining pool just has a large number of people generate hashes. The rate at which they do so is somehow tracked, and when one of them finds a block, the reward is divided according to processing power contributed.
