This can be used both in text based role playing games (ie, yahoo
groups), in books, or in any general writing that you do. I by no means

NON DESCRIPTIVE WRITING

Badahur sat in the stool at the bar waiting for his beer.

DESCRIPTIVE WRITING

The clinking of glasses was hard to ignore in this place. It was packed
tonight, patrons nearly shoulder to shoulder as they sat in front of the
bar on wooden stools. The nose curling scent of smoke clung to
everything; that included clothes, hair, skin, even the walls. The
windows were fogged from condensation. Each breath a man or woman took
added to it.

Across from where Badahur sat, an argument broke out. Something about
money, but the exact issue was difficult to hear over the din of voices.

A dark hand lifted, and he adjusted the collar of his black fishnet
t-shirt. He was in a black sort of mood today. Black pants, black socks,
black shoes. Black skin. Even the chain around his neck looked dark
under this lighting, not shining and glinting as it did outside.

Across from him, the bar tender waved his way. Badahur waved back, then
pointed to the kind of beer that he wanted. His dark eyes watched as the
tender turned around and grabbed a big big glass. It wasn't for him,
though; he would need to wait, as there were dozens of others waiting
for their drinks tonight.
