How do I make my episode longer

So I’m almost done with my first episode but it’s way too short… Some scenes are very short but I don’t know what to add… Any help?

Can you provide more context? Perhaps give us a run-down of what your first chapter is about.

Try adding transitions when a scene changes, add in more animations, speech/thought bubbles. :blob_hearts: :blob_sun:

Remember, an episode doesn’t have to b packed w important stuff. Add different scenes simply for the purpose of introducing a new character. Like a friend or college, or maybe a scene to introduce a trait to the mc. Like she goes running w her friend. :white_heart:

So the first chapter starts with a dialogue between my MC who is the leader of a “gang” and her ex who is a member of the gang. They are arguing because a lot of people got injured lately and he is accusing her and telling her that she is a bad leader and so on. Later the MC explains how she ended up being the leader. In the end of the episode her best friend invites her to a "sleepover " and reassures her.

Perhaps try out some world-building first, like scenes that show and tell a bit about the city or place they’re located in and perhaps a few scenes of MC leading some members of her gang, whether it’s in training for in an office, gym, wherever to allow readers to see MC’s world, the one she leads?

That’s a great idea! Thanks!

I agree with @/schittwriter! Also, try to extend the convo between the Mc and her ex too, like add a few more lines. We do not dislike a little longer conversations :))

What I forgot to mention is that the MC sister storms into the argument and argues too… Do you have any ideas for things the sister could say (btw the sister is mad at the MC for not letting her join the gang)

It could probably start off with her sister saying something like, “What the hell’s wrong with you (the name of the mc)”?, the mc on getting yelled at by both her sister and her ex could be silent for a moment and then she could just ask them both to stop and explain how she ended up being the leader

There’s some great advice in this thread
