    Necessary Guide

    This is a necessary book to help writers know the facts about writing. Gardner points out that good writing starts with actually sitting down and writing; that the first thing a story must be, before including theme and symbolism, is a good story; and that writing, while it might not lead to wealth, can be rewarding.
