Firstly, what makes up a good story? A plot. and then it needs important points leading up to that plot.
You should not dwell too long on minor points, and should describe the places and stuff like that so it can create an imaginary picture in the reader's mind.
Okay, here are the hints,
1. As I already said, see that you have a clear plot in mind before you write.
2. Construct a sort of plan about the points leading up to the plot making it like an order. And be sure not to leave out any point.
3. Be sure to connect the points naturally so that it makes a flaw. Otherwise it will be flawless and disconnected. You must use your imagination to filling in the details with action, descriptions and dialogue to connect the points.
4. Try to put Dialogues or conversations every here and then, writing a lot of description makes the reader bored.
5. Make cliff-hangers at the end of chapters and parts so that it makes the reader curious about what would happen next, adds a bit of an interest.
6. The title of the story should be made so that it is connected to the meaning or the plot of the story.
7. After you had written it, make sure that it is a grammatically and spellingly (couldn't find a word) good story. Revise your story and if necessary re-write it.
Well, those are the 7 hints.
If you use them well, you can make a skeleton of the story.
Good luck.
