    Not going to click a link with so little description, but I will take a guess.

    First though, what is “writing advice”? Shouldn’t it be “instruction” or “training”?

    As to why it’s weird: Creative processes aren’t linear. And each writer will have unique aspects of their process. These personalized parts may or may not work for anyone else since everyone is different.
