How does one achieve a sense of sere melancholy in their work? I've always wanted to write a short story or novella which is the equivalent of the film The Illusionist by Sylvain Chomet, or maybe the short animated film The Song for Rain, but it never comes out quite as I want it. I would like to write about rain, longing and the understated but it usually comes off dull and pretentious. Looking for genuine discussion on how to achieve this feeling. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
