1. Digging for Story Ideas
Story ideas need to be determined from the beginning. These ideas can come from anywhere, for example, from personal experiences, observing other works, cases in the news, and so on. And it could be the beginning of writing a short drama script.
2. Premise

5. Treatment
Now, you already have a synopsis that contains three to four paragraphs. The long synopsis includes characters, problems, and actions of the characters. Well, you still need to elaborate on the story in each paragraph. Eventually, you will have a short story from the synopsis.
6. Script
If you have successfully followed the procedure for writing a short drama script, now is the time to enter the script writing. Since you have a short story with 9-10 paragraphs, you can start pouring it into script format.
To make it easier, you can elaborate on the short story into scene sequences. These scenes are divided according to the setting and time. If there is one situation in one place and time, then it is counted as one scene. To be clearer, please see the following example.
Scene 1 - House - Day

Grandfather: Alright then, Nek, get me my tea!
Grandmother: Am I really that old that you call me grandmother?
Grandfather: Well, why don't you want to be called mother and get angry when called grandmother?
Neighbor who heard their commotion chimed in.
Mr. Sukri: You always argue like young people who are still dating.
Grandfather: That's what I want, Mr. Sukri, but what can I do, my skin has already sagged.
Mrs. Sukri: So, if the skin sags, you're considered old, right, Sir?
Grandmother: He always acts like a young child, but even lifting a chair makes him fart.

Grandfather: How many years has it been since you visited your father and mother, Karni?
Yuli: Grandfather is forgetful, we just came here a month ago.
Grandmother: He is forgetful, sometimes he forgets that he has eaten six times a day.

Diana: (Looking at her mother) So, I don't need to study hard?
Mother: It's not like that. Trying your best and not giving up is a good thing. However, when the results you get are not optimal, it's not because you're not good enough, you are already good. It's just that not all subjects can be mastered to the maximum.
Diana: (Putting on a confused face) I don't understand what you're saying.
Mother: Imagine, I ask you to clean the house all at once. I want you to cook, sweep, do laundry, mow the lawn in the garden, all at the same time. Can you do it?- Yes, maybe you can do some tasks well, but the rest?
Diana: Yes, I may not be able to do everything well.
