Some examples of good facts using my cat, Bob: All of those are true, and all of those could contribute to the story. Bob would not eat, so Twolegs came and frightened him into a cage by shaking a plastic bag behind him to get him to go to the vet. He was scared and upset, so he ate.
 * Bob is terrified of the vacuum and plastic bags
 * Bob will not eat unless he sees someone of greater importance eat before him
 * Bob eats when he's bored, upset, nervous, scared, angry, or sad, even if no one has eaten before him

Terrible story, I know. :)

Some examples of bad facts, using Bob again: You could attempt to make a story out of those, but it wouldn't have a plot, like the story above does. That's why your facts need to be noteworthy. I laughed so much, I almost fell down from my chair. Or did I? I have horrible memory. And it is true!
 * Bob likes Cheetos
 * Bob ate tuna once
 * Bob has made dirt 6, 892 times in his life
