(2) 4-6 Gantos advises budding writers to keep journals as regularly as he has done since his youth. Using frequent anecdotes from his own life, he provides examples of what writing things down has allowed him to later shape into stories with snappy dialogue, action and emotion, and evolving characters. The result is a writing guide (complete with fountain-pen drawings and appended writing exercises) that is both practical and entertaining.
