So, the advice to write, finish what you write, submit, and keep on... Aka work, be patient, and keep working...
That's not the magic bullet, the secret potion, the hidden entrance that these folks are looking for? But in the stories, finding that special sauce is often the way that the protagonist manages to win. Just grinding on... That's not the way to make the magic strike, is it?
10,000 hours? A million words? But can't you give me a special ticket that will take me directly to the top without allthatwork?
