1. Ok....Number 1. You need to learn to use "spellcheck". Creatchers....is really spelled...."Creatures". Honest!! I'm not kidding!! And punctuation!! Apostrophes!! Commas, etc. That's all "Number 1" before you think about writing a book. And....one more thing.... "stupied".....is spelled "stupid"!! Good luck with the book.
2. I have taken a ton of writing classes (college now) business major, with a strong background in English. Have written a ton of poetry and I too have thought about writing some type of story. So how to do it? First you have to know what is good...what makes somebody interested in reading what you have to write? So, I would suggest read a lot of books, the kind of books you are interested in writing. Here is one outstanding book, "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman, here is a sample of his writing: "Thats right," said Door. Here cheek was grazed, and her dirty reddish hair was tangled; tangled, but not matted. And her eyes...Richard realized that he could not tell what color her eyes were. They were not blue, or green, or brownor gray; they reminded him of fire opals: there were burning greens and blues, and even reds and yellows that vanished and glinted as she moved. She took the bird from him, gently, held it up, and looked it in the face. It tipped its head on one side and stared back at her with bead-black eyes. "Okay," she said, and then she made a noise that sounded like the liquid burbling of pigeons. "Okay Crrppllrr, you're looking for the marquis de Carabas. You got that?". See...that is great writing. The question is...how do YOU do it? The answer is: Write, write, write, and write. With a ton of reading in between. If you do not know what you will write about...write about a person or thing you would want in your book. Describe them, or it. Notice that Gaiman must have put a lot of thought into Door's eyes. Often times...when you make up a character, they may not find a place in your book right away, but possibly in a future one. Do the same with different plot lines and put no limits where they could lead. Often times a writer does not know the end of the story until it is written. So...possibly make a folder covering topics from homicide to romance. Use computer for this and save often. My professor would say...write, and re-write. You cannot do this too often. How many times must Gaiman written that example that I quoted? Probably many. Practice your art....and you will become the writer you want to be. Good luck.
