You're too hard on yourself. As long as you enjoy writing it and as long as someone enjoys reading it then what you write is good.

Freakin' hilarious

For all good fiction, I think you need either a spin, a hook, or buildup.

I was walking down a street when I heard a scuffle going on in an alleyway. One man was leaning against a wall, the other towered over him, and shouted, "give me your wallet already! Or things will get nasty." The mugger waved around his knife near the cowering man's face. I know I should have...
