Vonnegut's Argument: Toulmin's ModelClaim: You should follow my advice to become a more interesting and inspired writer.
Data: After all, uninspired authors are incredibly boring.
Warrant: It is better to be an interesting writer than a boring one.
Vonnegut's first argument is his most important, I think. That is, choose a subject to write about that you yourself care about. This is incredibly important, because the more you care about the subject, the more engaging and heartfelt your writing will be. If you don't care about the subject at hand, then the text will end up being drab and boring due to the writer's own boredom.
