I am going to take you through a small lesson and guide of how to create a good story, From reading these posts, you'll generate lots of story ideas that you can use later. And, more importantly, you'll learn techniques for getting new story ideas whenever you need them!
There are three elements that a story needs: a character, a setting, and a conflict.


A piece of writing is not a story unless something happens in it.  If nothing happens, the piece might be a description or an article or a philosophical discourse, but not a story.


In a story, something has to happen.  It happens to someone (a character), and it happens somewhere (a setting). 
A conflict -- dilemma or problem -- is what makes something happen. 


Authors (like us) generally start with one of three elements (character, setting, or conflict) and use the one chosen to come up with the other two.  There's no right or wrong order to this process.


An idea for a conflict (for example, high school bullying), can lead both to character ideas (Who's the bully?  What motivates him?  Who are the victims?  How will they respond?) and also to setting ideas (What kind of school do these characters attend?  Where is this school located?  Is it a rough public school, a snooty private one?).
An idea for a setting (for example, a Mississippi cotton plantation just before the Civil War) can lead to conflict ideas (slaves forcibly separated from their children), and character ideas (a pregnant slave willing to risk her life to keep her unborn child).


Or an idea for a character (for example, a woman who is obsessed with neatness) can lead to conflict ideas (In what situation would the character's obsession with neatness become a problem?  In what situation would she face a mess she couldn't control?), and setting ideas (the woman's ultra-organized apartment with its elaborate systems of cabinets, compartments, and labeled containers).
