Critique Your Own Short Story Draft

You've finished a first draft and you're too close to it to know if it works. This runs a structured self-critique across five things that matter: whether the opening earns the next paragraph, whether each character clearly wants something, and three more. You get a clear read on what to fix before anyone else sees it.

<context>
You have written a first draft of a short story and want to assess it honestly before revising or sharing it. The story is {STORY_TITLE} and is approximately [word count] words.
</context>

<task>
**Run a structured self-critique across five dimensions:**
1. Opening hook: does the first paragraph earn the reader's next paragraph?
2. Character motivation: is it clear what each character wants and why the reader should care?
3. Scene economy: identify any scene that does not advance plot or character. What would happen if it were cut?
4. Dialogue: does each line of dialogue do double duty (reveal character AND move plot)?
5. Ending: does it resolve the story's central tension, or does it just stop?

For each dimension, give a score (1-5), one thing working well, and one specific suggestion for revision.
