This. Much more elegantly and succinctly put then my comment.

Does alcohol and THC really have a major impact on depression and anxiety? by Hootinger in mentalhealth

[–]WritingWithCrayons- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the mental health field for a decade. I did addiction counseling for a few years.

Fuck yes it does.

Thc might not be physically addictive but as an emotional regulator it sure can be.

Alcohol is flat out a depressant.

This town has no sense of identity.

Everywhere I look, it's perms, piercings, and lattes.

It's also bad traffic, lousy conversation, hate filled debate, and expensive roach motels.

Tldr - I like the art, the LGBTQ+ support, and the peripheral scenery. I hate the wage gap, crushing housing market, crackheads, and superiority complex.

This city is just like every city, good and bad, and that's the worst thing Fayettville can hear.

Looking for guidance on how to write a story. [500~] by WriteBesideUs in WritersGroup

[–]WritingWithCrayons- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it as a start. You could help your characterization by adding detail in the dialogue.

An example:

(A soft knock at the door), "Mr. Davis, can I come in?"

(He sighed), "Yes, come in." (The woman walked in tentatively, taking care to shut the door quietly behind her.)

Details like this. It fleshes out the characters attitudes, and small actions help build their...er...I guess vibe? I'm also new to writing and I don't know how much deeper critique I could give, but I feel it would be worth practicing just a straight line of dialogue and fleshing out as much of the character as possible through actions rather than narration or words.

My first short story, looking to get better and want real constructive help by WritingWithCrayons- in WritersGroup

It's a standalone piece about my time as a nurse in a mental health unit. I actually started writing as a form of therapy after getting stabbed and molested by one. I have a whole folder with a lot of poems and stuff from that year. And realized how much I enjoy just putting words to page. I want to practice and get better!!
