No really, that's it. That's the key. The snide answer is *get good*
You get good by practice. Have talent, it will be easier for you. Don't have talent, you may never "make it"
Live with it. Enjoy.

get a job

send a letter to a publishing agency of your choice, along with an excerpt. or, send it directly to a publisher. or, try to self-publish online. i used to get short stories published in a few different journals, but that was in the 80's and i don't think anyone read them. these days, though, if you can get an audience you can do the whole process of publishing yourself.
