The idea. A distinctly human attribute is our ability of creation, to have an idea. In every discipline and every person, the idea is common. There are 3 parts to idea creation, all of which are important to a successful acceptance of said idea.

Think. Think. Think. One must explore what is meant by the idea in one's own head. This is first and foremost. For the same reason that handwriting is important, this process is imperative. Before anything becomes concrete, an idea must be fully fleshed out before anything else. Why is handwriting so important? Because you have to think before you write anything, there is no room for literary diaherra.

Conceptualize. What can also be interpreted as a "rough draft," a better generalization is that of conceptualization. One must form an abstract idea into a concrete concept, by stating restrictions, boundaries, and the like. Be able to rationalize and simplify, toil and struggle, to make understood. You do not build a house without blueprints, nor do you write a book without an outline. Framework provides foundation.

Polish, perfect, attack. An idea is nothing in isolation, and a conceptualized idea is only slightly more. What is needed is presentation, aesthetics, beauty. Humans pay attention to what is attractive, and therefore an idea must attract. Solidarity is beautiful, by that I mean resistance to counter claims. Strength does not make an idea unattractive.

Each of these steps can be judged in terms of Quality. And this Quality is what seperates a good idea from bad, in that if Quality is underutilized during a step, then it directly affects the end result. Good intentions do not a good concept make.

Yeah, this is just rambling.
