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 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.

looks like a great piece at a glance. Be that as it may, I think good writing coaching is no different than good coaching in anything else. It’s hard to find, and you’ll pay for it. The rest is rigid, useless, and worthless - as you say.

What I responded to was rigid instructions/guidelines being discussed. So many words for day, only that many words for day, not more, not less, etc.
That's straight up snake-oil—charitable interpretation is someone passing off their own rigidities/issues as writing advice. - Show replies
