trying to enter into a scifi magazine?

Analog & Fantasy and Science Fiction (creative title, isn't it?) are science fiction magazines that a reader will enjoy if they like explanations of complicated technology, otherworldly beings, or simply a twist on human life. They have guidelines that a writer must follow in order to get their story published in their franchise. Here's how they compare:

• They can both agree that there should be no limit to the genre. There has to be at least a specific element in the story in order to make it possible to submit. Science fiction is a broad and huge term and they will accept anything (but it doesn't mean that it'll be published...)
• There is a paying price per word for the story you want to submit for both magazines. There are different prices for Analog, but it's 8-10 cents for a general short story. F&SF charges 7-12 per word.
• Both can take a while to get back to the writer. Analog can take 2-3 months, and F&SF can take 8 weeks.
• There is a format when submitting an entry. Both magazines prefer submissions to be sent online.
• Both magazines refuse simultaneous story submissions.

See now if one day I get a sudden urge to write a science fiction story and get my name out there, I'll probably want to change my writing style now. I need to focus on more descriptive heavy paragraphs and flesh out stories that have plot ideas that aren't clear enough or don't make sense. Science fiction is not the easiest genre to write in, so I need to be more experienced in the genre before taking on the genre full force.
