Don't listen to people who succeed at what you're trying to do because they're outliers? So listen to failures and wannabes instead? Or ignore advice period?

- HellsMaddy 4y agoListen to me, I'm neither a failure nor an outlier, I am a non-writer. Completely unbiased, completely uninformed. My advice: write!
- watwut 4y agoListen to both people who succeeded and who did not. You actually need to learn from failures too.
- Evenjos 4y agoDon't listen to idiots. But do listen to the people who sincerely tried and failed. Few people want to talk about failure. But I've been watching the publishing industry for a long time, and it's not as simple as pressing the "Publish" button and watching sales roll in. Algorithms have changed the way things work. Bots promote works that are already popular or trending. It's harder than ever for newbies to get noticed.
