Be advised and conduct yourself accordingly. I'm a grown woman; I qualified for the senior discount years ago. The last of my real uncles passed away a few years back and I am not in the market for any new ones.
And don't presume you know more about the business of writing than someone who has written as a hobby-with-aspirations since along about 1972. I have socks that know more about the duller-but-funner* side of writing than most people. If I feel the need of advice from an actual working writer, all I have to do is spin my chair around and ask the person who buys most of the groceries here with checks from editors.

What did I miss? Was someone getting ugly? Uncles? Now, I have heard of some sicko's out there. Point them out, we have your back.
Some people just never get the message.
Ms Ecks? Isn't there an 'off' switch on your hearing aids to help your Oh so helpful "Uncles" understand that their help isn't really needed? Personally I use the phrase "What? Did you say something?" quite a bit with those butinski people.

As a reader, your writing is fine.
Q
I think I should like to hear from your "writing socks". I suspect they would be more interesting than most of the "mainstream media" published articles these days, on a great many subjects...
