get a story published

A year or so ago, a story I wrote won a local writing competition but the story was awful; even I know that. The story that came second was about psychics and the writer of it couldn’t spell psychic, so I don’t put much stock by that competition. It was published in an anthology of all the regional winners, but the story is so bad that I’ve never shown anyone.

I would love to get a story published and feel proud of it. That’s all.
