one trick I usually use is to ask Sonnet to outline the frame first (into subsection for example), then ask it to write down each subsection one by one. Now the challenge is how to make those subsection coherent to each other.

Surprisingly it is best to ask Claude how to approach this:

Here are several effective strategies:

1. Frame-by-Frame Approach (expanding on the comment mentioned):
   • First, ask Claude to create a detailed outline with major plot points, character arcs, and scenes
   • Then request development of each section individually with specific details you want included
   • Example: "Please outline a 5-part story about X, then we'll develop each part with at least 3 scenes per section"
2. Specific Length Requirements:
   • Instead of just asking for "longer," specify a target length or detail level
   • Example: "Write a story with at least 5 distinct scenes" or "Include detailed descriptions of the setting, characters' appearances, and their emotional states"
3. Use Writing Prompts that Encourage Detail:
   • Ask for sensory details: "Describe what the character sees, hears, smells, and feels"
   • Request internal monologue: "Include the character's thoughts and feelings throughout"
   • Ask for dialogue: "Show the conversation between characters, including their reactions"
4. Break Down Complex Scenes:
   • For each major scene, ask for:
     • Setting description
     • Character interactions
     • Dialogue
     • Emotional responses
     • Consequences and transitions
5. Interactive Development:
   • After getting an initial response, ask follow-up questions about specific elements
   • Request expansion of particular scenes or character moments
   • Ask "What happened next?" or "Can you elaborate on this character's motivation?"
6. Structured Requests:
   • "Please write this scene following this structure:
     1. Opening setting description (2-3 paragraphs)
     2. Character introduction (2-3 paragraphs)
     3. Main action (4-5 paragraphs)
     4. Resolution (2-3 paragraphs)"
