Creative Writing Tips ?

I will illustrate the difference by asking you to visualize two pictures?
1. Visualize a skeleton.
Then
2. Visualize a body.
The skeleton is your plot. It's the outline of your story. It won't be visible when we flesh it out but it will still be there, holding your story together.
The body is your story. It's everything, which our story will contain, including the plot. The story is the plot fleshed out.
What does it mean to 'flesh it out?'
