A question of authorship

I'd very much like to make my character into an author, and I've researched just how to go about that, but... I can't seem to find the 'work on spec' option in the Literary Ambitions storylet? I'm at Persuasive 63, so unless both the wikis typoed the Persuasive requirement necessary for it to show up, I think I'm more than ready for it. Unless there's a cap at which it no longer shows up?
I'm very confused. :c

I think, in fact, the story potential goes all the way down to "Competent" if you fail the check, at least that has happened to me when I have tried to sell Thrilling tales. And it must be sold at that level, it cannot be raised again. A substantial loss in echoes, time, and possibly resources.
The good news is that a 60+ potential can be reached only with actions, items are necessary only to improve it from that point. So one can have a 75% chance of selling a Compelling tale with the expenditure only of Actions. (Which hasn't made much difference to me, as I have only managed to sell 1/3 of my Compelling stories at that level).
With 63 Persuasive, though, you won't have 100% chances on the Daring edit, but write a few stories and watch your Persuasive climb.
