Compose article in draft first?

@NewsAndEventsGuy: - Ecological grief is a notable topic, but it is difficult to evaluate the article and provide feedback as you requested when the article consists of one sentence. We tell fledgling editors to compose a new article in draft first, solicit feedback, and then—when it the article is truly ready for prime time—publish it on Wikipedia. Should those of us who've been around for a while not do the same? This is not a big concern for me, I'm simply asking the question. Plus, given your experience and output, this might be a B-class article next week. ;-) All the best   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

@NewsAndEventsGuy:, @Markworthen: My take on "WP:BE BOLD" is that lots of citations in a stub lets the citations tell the story. I'll add a few more of the talk page cites, and turn it over to you for the article text. If you're more comfortable writing in draft space or a sandbox, that's fine with me.

That's a very good point Oliveleaf4 that I had not thought of before. Therefore, no need for a sandbox draft version (now that I have been enlightened ;0). Thanks!   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man. The traditional male pronouns are fine.) 15:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Loss

There is abundant literature on loss and perceived (presumption of) loss among various populations. Young persons may more acutely sense the risk of loss of quality of life and seek to blame others for that sense of diminished possibilities (that toxic environments - from pollution - and shifting geographies - sea levels rising, thermal shifts, melting ice, climate change in general - may imply or suggest). Wherever that literate on 'loss' has been incorporated into its professional repertoire (counseling, clergy, social work, public health, economic and political planning, religion and ministry, etc.), maybe 'best practices' addresses that type of shifting horizon of expectations, dramatic anxiety vs. Angst, etc. One need not become 'a total fatalist' in order to sense that the cumulative future is not as good as it might have been, but has 'the future' EVER been 'as good as it might have been'?
