Write an HN-worthy article and submit it.

Easier said than done, I admit. ;)

I've done a few in the last couple months. It's much easier to vote for the good ones than write your own.

More to the point you are rewarded more to post articles on a regular basis. Writing your own articles requires a far greater energy input. This is exposing a flaw in the system in a way. Maybe HN user submitted stories should get recognition in the submission process? Maybe a start at 2 points instead of one?
