Got C.H.O.C.O.L.A.T.E.?
C stands for Creativity. All good writers gotta get them some of this (we'll talk about grammar later on). It's not just for fiction writers. Every writer needs to think "outside the box," and use their imagination. You do remember imagination, right? That thing that was always with you as a kid, and made your world more fun and colorful? Yeah, that. No matter what your genre-fiction, non-fiction, poetry, your writing will be so much better infused with creativity. And if you think you don't have any, there's a (brain) app for that (stay tuned)!
CREATIVITY EXERCISE:
Think about the photo below, then use your imagination to write two or three paragraphs about it in the fiction genre. Don't over think it; just imagine, and write. If you email it to me, I will publish the most creative entry.

Scripture to Remember
And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2
