Good advice?

I read something both interesting and troubling yesterday.

"If you want to be a successful author, put down your pen." In other words, spend less time writing and more time networking.

Is that good advice?

Maybe.

If you don't sell it, nobody can buy it.

That said, I don't think it will work in the long run unless you've got something interesting.

As Charlie Cowell so aptly said:

"Anvils have a limited appeal."
