That means you could A) make notes on what he says, aiming to do exactly what he tells you to do, or B) you can read his stuff and judge whether it works. Is it a good piece of writing? Does he get your attention? Does he understand who you are, and where you’re coming from? Does he allow you to be yourself?

What’s his tone of voice? Is he dogmatic, or does he allow for many different ways for you to approach this topic, many different ways for you to write? For sure, there are many ways to make a cake, many flavors, many techniques, many ingredients.
