    I’ve written about this. The obsession with rankings is completely misguided for midlisters. There is absolutely no value spending your time on that.

      Thanks! I always get a lot of solid practical advice from you. I appreciated the distinctions in this article, since I’m not sure I fully understood them. But I’m a LONG way from being able to apply this kind of advice, valuable or not.
