Start of simple. You have to think of a single thing that wasnt there before. It doesnt has to be big or totally awesome, just unused. Let's say Mario is actually a sad character...no, jokes aside - pick any idea. Maybe even one from the CP-trading, Steel had offered.

Then you basically add minor details and plot scenes (senews) to this core-idea (skeleton), flesh them out (muscles) by adding details and adjectives and then polish it (skin) by looking for passages where it maybe be difficult to read or where you simply jumped over something while writing.

A good story often takes weeks to accomplish, so dont rush it. If its a shorty with like 10 sentences, okay, but not if you are going for a long one and end up repeating the stuff over and over again, because you want to make it long, but lack content.

Remember that what you write is just as important as how you write. Two examples here:

''i entred the room. it was totaly dark and blood was everywere. i fellt like vommiting, so i did in te corner. my head was hurting. i went on to the next room.''

or:

''As I entered the room the metallic smell of the blood which covered the walls struck me like nothing before. The sight of the thick liquid dripping from the ceilng and slowly running down the concrete walls, the sound of the drops hitting the small pools on the floor, the putrid, vile stench was just too much. I turned to a corner and emptied my stomach in it. Somehow I forced myself through the throbbing pain in my head to go on and enter the next room. ''

Same sentence, written differently.

Grammar is also very important. It may seem like knit-picking, but its difficult to read a badly spelled text. It puts you out of immersion, since you have to "translate" it in your head, which again isnt very good and something you want to avoid.

Its just like painting pictures, you dont just color everything at once - you put layer on layer on layer, everything together creates then an artwork.
