Questions for writers:
When can you tell you have a good concept for a story? Is there a feeling associated with it, an inkling, or are good ideas only wrought with a lot of massaging and sweat?
How do you narrow the scope of a story and choose what to focus on? I have the urge to yield to every clever tangent, and then get lost second guessing myself following various threads, and ultimately feel powerless to web everthing together coherently.

If I think of something that makes me laugh, I think it's good enough to turn into a story. Also I always start with a clear ending in mind, sometimes even writing the ending before anything else. It helps keep the story focused in that everything has to build towards the ending that's already there.

The story itself isn't that important in my opinion. What you do with it is. Everybody can come up with good stories, that doesn't mean that they're gonna write a good book.
