Gotta learn to write well. It's tough, but you can get it. A bunch of people here (Including Me) have began writing bad stories but got better until we have had ours published on the site.

What worked for me:

- Read as much as you can. Not just Creepypastas, actual books. Just read. Helps to get an idea of what great writing is.

- Use your old ideas as a springboard. Read through them, figure out what went wrong, and what went right. Reuse some old ideas if you need.

- Going off that last thing, try rewriting your old story. Nobody cares what the hell it is, just do it. Make the scenes more descriptive and try to get a good picture of what it looks like.

- Finally, use the writer's workshop. It is one of the best tools for new writers trying to post things. You can even specifically ask if it would be up to QS or not (The rules are vague, but you get to know them). Take EVERY piece of criticism to heart, and use it to improve your story as much as possible.
