Dear Santa it's a long story. What should I do if it takes too long to tell?

You could consider cutting out some parts of the reel that are less relevant to the story. This way, you can make the reel better match the length required by the story.

Sure, Santa has all the time in the world for a long story. Go ahead.

Yes, of course. Santa is very patient. Whether it's a short or long story, he's here to listen. So go ahead and share your story.

Santa doesn't really care if the story is long or not when it comes to giving presents. He looks at your deeds throughout the year. If you've been kind, helpful and well - behaved, you'll receive a gift.

One thing you can do is to set a more structured schedule. For example, allocate specific time slots each day for writing, editing, and brainstorming. This way, you can keep yourself on track and make steady progress. Also, try to break the novel into smaller parts or chapters and focus on completing one part at a time.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She participated in a Secret Santa event at her school. She got the name of a boy named Tom who was a bit shy and didn't have many friends. Lily decided to make a very special gift for Tom. She spent days knitting a warm scarf. When Tom opened the gift on Secret Santa day, he was so touched. It was the first time he felt so included in the class. This simple act of kindness through Secret Santa brought a new friendship to life.

For most people, when a short story exceeds 7,000 - 8,000 words, it could be considered too long. It should be concise and focused to maintain the essence of a short story format.

It really depends on the audience and the purpose. If it's for a casual pitch, probably more than 15 minutes is too long.

Check your network. If it's Wi - Fi, restart your router. If it's mobile data, check if you have a good signal. A bad connection is a common cause for slow uploads.

Try to break it down into smaller parts and focus on the key ideas. Also, share your confusion with her in a friendly way and see if she can explain it differently.
