Summary

This quote suggests that writers tend to indulge in excessive self-praise or self-centered discussions about their craft. The speaker advises young writers to not get too caught up in listening to other writers' thoughts on writing or self-promotion. The implication here might be that focusing too much on the opinions or advice of fellow writers can be distracting or hindering to one's own creativity and growth as a writer. Instead, the quote seems to encourage aspiring writers to trust their own instincts and find their unique voice without being overly influenced by the hype around writing and writers.
