This series of articles by David Sirlin had a significant positive impact on me:
-
Writing Well, Part 1: Sensibilities
-
Writing Well, Part 2: Clear Thinking, Clear Writing
-
Writing Well, Part 3: Origins of a Writer
Also,
The Elements of Style (already mentioned in this thread) is a book I often reference. I keep it in my desk drawer.
(No other books enjoy that privilege.
)
Above all, write for the love of it. I choose to write well because I enjoy clear expression; it matters to me.
I come to a page (or a text box) for many reasons, but almost always, it's with love of (or for) something.
