From the linked article, here is the first suggestion from the first scenario:

"Trying [sic] writing in outline form, like they made us do in grammar school with numbers, nesting, and Roman numerals."

And I should take your advice on writing?

The ur-question is, why do people with no writing skill or aptitude seem compelled to post advice columns on writing?

Here's my writing advice:

1. Learn how to write.

2. Write.

Not the other way around.



Hi lutusp,

Thanks for pointing out the typo. Your advice is good, too. I wrote this because I am often asked this question.
