Can you explain your problem in a little more detail? Do you no longer have access to the "Writer's Desk" storylet where you were working on that short story?
A Name Signed with a Flourish can only be increased from 0 to 1 by completing a Mushroom Epic from a commission in Veilgarden, from 1 to 2 by concluding a relationship with a honey-sipping jewel thief or heiress, and from 2 to 3 by publishing a "Make Your Name" short story from the Writer's Desk. Note that the "Make Your Name" short story is on a different branch than all the other Writer's Desk short stories.
The Writer's Desk should be available to you to finish a potentially masterful short story as long as you have A Name Signed with a Flourish 2 or higher. But finishing that potentially masterful short story won't increase your A Name Signed with a Flourish level.
If that level dropped too low for you to see the Writer's Desk, try doing a mushroom epic or pursuing a relationship with either a honey-sipping jewel thief or heiress.

If it's not too late -- you can still publish your (potentially) masterful story and sell it -- then do another story just for Making Your Name.

Sell the Masterful story, write a new one that only has Potential 40, then publish it under "Name Signed With a Flourish." It would be a shame to waste all that work, although you still won't recoup the effort or materials you put into it.

Yeah, as the above have noted, your next story does not have to be for the Flourish challenge. Any story you wish can be submitted if you qualify it and submit it specifically under that Making Your Name option. Else, it's a regular story for its value.
