So I was planning to take my writings on the more relaxing side. Either to just vent out all the stress and chill after the day.

I kinda want to make the conflicts and plot in the story as minimal and trivial as possible, and focus more on the world and how the protagonist was having a great time. Kinda tired of all that suspenseful stuff.

How do you guys make your stories chill, by the way?

Describe the atmosphere in the room. Describe objects that helps calm the atmosphere(fountains, the flow of the rivers, the birds chirping). How the characters feel(even better, how they feel when theyre around a certain character). How about the character's thoughts? Write about the characters interactions with each other. Add in jokes. Talk about the positive things in life. If you have time, try checking out some slice of life & fluffy webnovels for more ideas.

i'll write about my MC taking a tree milf out on a date that ends with passionate lovemaking.

The tree milf is very insecure in matters of love and has been hurt so much in the past so she has all kinds of nice things said to her so she can be happy and thats all that matters.

Thats what i write when i wanna just chill and feel.

I go back to read certain chapters of mine too sometimes just to experience them feels again. I get really emotional whenever i make my MC just focus on spoiling the trees. Its the best yo

Interaction with another character would be the first. It can be anyone, a friend, a lover, even a pet [its this in my case]. Also, dont make them all friendly, this will imply distance between them. Instead, have them banter with each other. People who are close, they dont agree with each other all the time. Mostly, they banter and bicker. For eg. in one of my chs, my MC[Soren] poked his pet's face [Argus, a fox] while he was sleeping several times. Result was Argus waking up and biting his finger. You can spread small events like this and it will lighten the mood.

My MC is an aardwolf so the scenes that are 'chill' are usually when they are getting stroked or scratches under their chin/behind their ears, or getting groomed.

For me, I would write small details, like a character's smile (curved lips, bright eyes etc.), noticing the blue sky and pretty flowers and casual everyday conversation written naturally, maybe with a few low key jokes.

Just like most of the things people above said. And also, if you want the most out of it, go for 1st person perspective. Present tense can give it even more feeling if done correctly, but Past is not a bad option.

Get into the head of the character you are writing. Watch as everytyhing happens like you are in their place. Focus on small elements that you would notice, facial expression changes, tone of voice changes. Describe actions and environments with detail. Insert some "assumptions" and thoughts into the text instead of hard facts that are given by 3pp omniscient narrator.

And just don't rush. Play the whole thing slowly in your head. I find great joy in writing slow and detailed scenes where just a small exchange takes over 2k words. Imagine every smile, nod, movement, gesture, movement of the eyes and just capture it. After writing a bit you'll get accustomed to the style. Dialogue is of course important part here which supports the scenes.
