I went to a strip club to do some “research” for the novel (wink) and while I had a good time — as always — I came away thinking maybe I’ve been so wrapped up with how “cool” and “edgy” making my heroine a part-time stripper hobbyist that I miss something — the stripper lifestyle is a lot darker than I’m portraying it.
And it would help the tone of the novel to talk about that in the novel.
So, that’s kind of a long-term project, to make it clear that being a stripper kind of sucks at times. I just have to give a lot of thought as to how to exactly do it.
