Writing is a craft. Like all other art some are naturally better than others, but EVERYONE has to work to make their stuff good. Those kinds of writers always like to be called authors instead of writers, and they don't seem to like talking about revising or working out several drafts to get it to where it was good, they just like the attention and for someone to agree with them that they're some kind of literature god. It's annoying for sure. Before I knew about podcasts I listened to lots of author interviews on NPR, that's all it was, thank goodness for podcasts. Dude, you’re not wrong. Writing is a craft.

I've heard writers say that it felt like their character didn't want to do X, and that's what told them the plot was broken. But the woo-woo channeling bullshit is very, very annoying, I'm with you.
