Peeing Scene

Would anyone here object to writing a scene which involves a lot of detail regarding peeing? For exmple, maybe a chapter would start out by someone waking up in the middle of the night with a full bladder or something like that. Not really detailed about how they do it, but maybe if they were in a situation of desperation and couldn't find a bathroom?

Let's face it: there aren't enough peeing scenes in any novel. You might say, there's a DROUGHT in the collective mind of writers the world over that may never be fulfilled if someone doesn't step up and quench our parched minds with peeing scenes skillfully woven into a novel like GOLDEN rays of a morning sun through the branches of fall trees. Okay, I'm just messin around but seriously if the scene calls for it, then run with it like the wind (just not INTO the wind...hehe) , it will only serve to thicken the scene as well as your character. Just be sure not to go overboard with it, you've got to know when to stop........just not in the middle, cause then it'll sting! Last pee joke I swear!

Re: Peeing Scene

Having shared a bathroom with at least one person at any given time for the last four years, I've had my share of peeing adventures!

I've stood in front of the door cringing in pain, I've run outside and peed on the fence, I've peed off a third floor balcony, I've banged on my next-door neighbors door begging to use his bathroom, I've walked an 1/8th mile to a bathroom while camping in the middle east only to find it closed and have to walk a quarter mile to the next one, I've woken up having to go so bad while camping that I've peed in a gatorade bottle and then took it to the bathroom.

I have not yet peed in my sink, never had to go that bad. I've had the water running on hot, thinking that would kill any bacteria when I heard the door unlock, which was my godsend.

I've never really thought of all of the comedic things that happen while peeing.

Haha, those are some really good ideas, actually. It is funny and it would serve a good purpose if it dealt with the characters.

A question: If you had to pee and your friend was just shaving or brushing his teeth, would he let you in and you could both do what you need to do?

Hey if he leaves the door unlocked, knowing full well that my bladder is the size of an acorn, then he should expect me to pee with an audience! Eventually he'll get used to somebody peein' next to him every time he's in there. It's either that or go outside, caveman style-just start running and it'll just flow. By that time, you're already running fast enough to speed past onlookers in the playground without them noticing the dark spot on my pants that day in second grade when I made a mad sprint for the bushes by the monkeybars...er..um....bad memory creepin' out....
