What's the most useless or humorous writing feedback you ever received?
Not humorous but definitely useless. An editor opined that Hero’s Journey was the closest template to my novel. So, she suggested making several changes in order to fit.
The book is a Team Leader’s Journey, intentionally subverting Hero’s Journey. Naturally, all of the suggested changes had to do with cutting the heart out of the story.
Since when do editors •start• by finding the closest template?
