In the last few days I’ve seen several bloggers mention that receiving bad advice can severely harm your writing. And we don’t mean here “negative feedback”, which should always be part of any feedback and help you improve your text. We’re talking about advice that is wrong and misleading.<\/p>\n
Well that’s what I’ve been finding lately in the blog Advanced Fiction Writing<\/a>. Their shameful article on how to write characters of the opposite gender<\/a> lit my suspicion. So I checked back. A very specific question on POV<\/a> received a boring digression on the different kind of narrators available to writers. Another question on whether to call characters<\/a> by their first or last name received the good advice that writers should stick to one name, then gave a bad example of multi-named Voldemort. And so it goes.<\/p>\n This is not “Advanced” writing of any kind. This is the most simplistic adivising I’ve ever seen outside of Facebook. Stay away from bad advice! That’s my advice ;-)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the last few days I’ve seen several bloggers mention that receiving bad advice can severely harm your writing.
