Writing Prt Somethingerother

As you may or may not know The Truth is a very dark story. Now I may not be one to complain, which this is not, but i've noticed a.. abundant amount of angsty stories. Theses stories are filled to the brim with depression and sadness and leave you either

A. Confused

or

B.

I realize that The Truth is very similar to a lot of these. What it and other stories like it set it apart is the fact is that some authors try to limit the amount of angst in each chapter.

BUT

not all stories HAVE to have this! The reason why is mainly because, well, it is to be expected in some stories. Stories about the death of somepony are SUPPOSED to be depressing. The main problem comes in when it's not written well. When you can't put your emotion into the chapter it falls flat. Hence why when I write a chapter I have to be in a certain mood. I call it my creative mood. This is basically when I get all this extra creative energy, Buuuut during this mood I don't like to be bothered. Like at all. ANYWAYS BACK TO THE MAIN SUBJECT, I know I may sound like a huge hypocrite and in some ways I am. BUt the thing about this story is that it's
SUPPOSED to be dark!
It's SUPPOSED to be depressing!
Which is why when a story tries WAY TOO HARD to be dark and fails horribly because of poor emotion imbued writing (not necessarily the way the story's written but the emotion behind it) It ends up like this

However I understand WHY people try to write these stories. They want to make it interesting and real you in but in the process, well their line snaps because of poor emotion. But don't be like me and only write when you're in the mood to--especially if this is rare--because trust me, people will like you a whole lot more if you can write short, but well done, chapters in a semi-dark story. All I want to say is
PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
limit the amount of sadness in a story UNLESS you KNOW it's gonna be 'that kind of story'

Moving on, now I shall address what the flying fudge's going on in The Truth in the first place.

This chapter, Innocence, was not easy to write. I will explain how I felt with gifs actually.

Me: Okay this chapter won't be so hard

Brain: Ha ha. Nice try. I'm going to make this chapter depressing.

Me: Okay.. first part isn't so bad.

Me: Second part looks like I'm trying to go into Romance. Derp.

Me:

Me:

Me: Well.. that got.. really... really depressing fast.

Brain: Everyone is going to think you're weird and go like this

So now I feel really weird. I think this is our relationship as of now.
