There is something about this business that really gees up certain people into proclaiming themselves the be all, end all authorities about everything. Drives me bugshit crazy. There are many, many ways to successfully write a book. Me doing it my way does not negate you doing it your way. So why the constant need to be the One True Authority???? I swear, it takes on this insane religious fervour that makes me want to wield a great big bat.
You're right. It's bullying. And rampant egos gone wild. And it breaks my heart that some folk who are still new and tentative buy this drivel and then break their hearts because they're being told to do something that will never work for them.
