Foxes are clever, perceptive, and shrewd. You're happiest working behind the scenes, pulling strings and watching others dance to your imperceptible tune. Independent yet highly social, you glide among your circles of acquaintance with ease, sharing your sharp wit or a delicious piece of gossip.

I rarely have that issue. Only when I really do not like the story line does that happen, and then I simply end up rewriting the whole thing during editing and make it hella longer. :}

i think i need to figure out how to flesh my stories out a lot. the problem isn't with an outline, bc i've read stories with less of a plotline that are able to sustain without dragging

Look into setting descriptions. A lot of words are won if you write about wht is happening around your characters. I know I get loads in setting up the scenes in great detail. :}
