Good! think about the conflict in your book. Try to explain it more by using describing words. Also, show your feeling to the readers, through those words. Use many metaphors and similes. While resolving the conflict.. try to give a review to some history of that.
Iam not an experienced novelist(sorry) but i have written long stories like that...
Best of luck..
 
what i do is think up an idea, and then obsess over the main idea of the book, and then i start to write. and then i end up writing all day.
you said you need to lengthen it, to do that start off slow, hint at the main idea, and then in the middle write about the main idea, at the end it gets resolved. the main thing to do to make it interesting is have lot's of unexpected stuff happen. only hint at the main idea at the beginning and then in the middle you mainly write about at the main idea.
im not a very experienced writer, but lot's of people tell me i'm talented at writing.
hope i helped! good luck! :)
 
Have you started writing the book? Or are you about to? When you start, you might find that you have enough words as it is.

Write the story that you have planned so far, even if you're not sure that it's long enough. Write to the end, and then read back over it. You might find that you need to add more descriptions of the characters or of the world around you (adding weather, descriptions of houses and frequent locations, etc).

Also, you may find that something you described in one sentence would actually work as a scene all by itself, or you might figure that instead of always referring to an incident in the past, you could have a prologue or a flashback somewhere that describe that incident.

If you still need a longer word count, you could always flesh out the supporting characters in your story, give them a story of there own (a subplot) - this is what happened incidentally with Jacob Black in Twilight, who was only a passing reference in the first book, but whom the editor/agent liked so much, so Stephenie Meyer developed into a major character.

Good luck with your novel, and remember, although writing is a lot of hard work, it's also fun!
