“You don’t have to be published to have insight.” Insight into what? Are you saying that there are no standards at all? Do you have any concern that most of these advice givers are simply “click-baiters”? Do you really believe that no experience is necessary and that any advice that happens to appeal to you is worth while? I agree with you that the mere fact that I have an agent and a publisher does not in itself prove anything. However, what I am saying is that I know a hell of a lot more than most people about how to write something that can get the attention of an agent and get published. I would really like to learn what you know about this because that is what I was talking about. I suspect that you know nothing about it and are “actively working” on you craft without thinking about what that means.
