: Re: How to make a dark story not-so-dark (Shining the light in darkness) I'm writing a war story, and it's dark. However, I find that every scene turns out to be depressing because of it. Readers

What I would do, is give the characters something to look forward to. Give them something to fight for. They need a motivation to keep going, something to comfort them in their time of need. I think by giving the characters this, you'd be able to make them have more courage and generally be happier for what is to come.

Always give characters a motivation.
