The poem is pretty but is full of bullshit. Fine by me.

I think a story MAY be good when

1) challenges me in the middle or before the ending (it may alfo apply for any other part)

2) it doesnt stay the same as it came to me, but instead becomes something better or more round.

3) it survives the drunk editing i tend to do at 4am and almost always ends with draft on the trash bin

4) it survives the second draft

5) someone pays me for it (scholarship, magazine, award, etc)
