I didn't comment on the advice, I commented on the conclusion the author made that learning that people are uninterested in your material leads to empathy.
It'd be great if it did, but that's hardly a given.
- mark-r 8y agoThe author was extrapolating their own experience which did lead to empathy, conjecturing that anybody else going through the same process will have the same insight. I think the implication is that to be a success at advertising the empathy is a necessary skill, and you will either pick it up or wash out. Certainly there are other paths to writing that would not lead to the same insight.
