So what I have been doing is writing the night as basically a fiction story. What should have happened, or what would have happened had it been a perfect night.
Say you were in a car wreck on your way to a wedding reception. Write a story about you getting in your car, an uneventful ride, then detail having fun at the party, then driving home and crawling into bed safely.
That it is brilliant, I'm going to try it. I'll also recommend it to others, thank you for the idea.
