Yep. Most writing advice and “coaching” is a bit like the how to make money in real estate (or bitcoin! Or whatever!) advice. It’s good business for the “coach”. If you like external motivation, team up with friends. No need to pay money unless you like donating to that person.https://twitter.com/devjpow/status/1003744819355815937 …
I didn’t say all coaching. Sports coaching is great. Writing? Land of snake-oil.

It seems that way because you’re not familiar with all the snake oil in sports and athletics. It’s the same thing. Writing coaching can be invaluable, as much it can be worthless.

I am! Lifelong exerciser. One of my most read articles is about snake oil in the fitness industry!
It’s the one I make an exception for, because good sports coaching is at least possible! I see a lot of rigid, useless writing advice and I was responding to another round of it. - Show replies
