Take your time
The time of day can make a difference to the type of atmosphere your readers feel. For example, you can darken a story by setting it at night. There’s always an extra sense of menace, of threat and uncertainty in a story that takes place at night.

Great piece.
Thank you. Glad you liked it 🙂
Useful tip ❤
Glad you found it useful 🙂
You do make a good point, Esther. It is psychological as we all fear the dark. Of course, bad things can happen at any time of day or night – just ask Winston Smith [wink]
Very true, Robbie!
Yeah it’s no good having a spooky story in broad daylight 🙂
It doesn’t quite work, does it?!
Not really…
