aPad-5: Party the Night Away

A Paragraph a Day: Party the Night Away

WHEN A DRUNK GIRL gripped onto my wrist for stability, and after some random dude rubbed his drenched arm against mine, I knew I was having fun at the club.

</sarcasm>

I DID IN DEED HAVE FUN going to my first club over the weekend. As a writer, I try to remain very aware of details I could use in stories while, at the same time, I make sure to immerse myself in the experience. Both external and internal details are good to learn in order to create more life-like characters and descriptions.

I'VE WRITTEN party and club scenes before, and it turns out I was pretty much on the money. Loud noises, sea of people, bright lights, and soft-core porn like atmosphere. I would now say the loud sounds from the speakers numbed the ears, the flashes of color from the strobe lights were piercing and momentarily blinded ones vision, and the amounts of debauchery boobs, butts, legs, and massive grinding against grinding pushed the envelope of what soft-core cold be considered (sans nudity).

I THINK I was the only person stopping in the middle of dancing to tell his girlfriend to turn around to "Look at that! I can use that in a story!" Sucks for everyone else. More story ideas for me.
