Style

Write with nouns and verbs: I probably don't do this enough. I use a lot of adjectives and adverbs. Maybe I am writing with nouns and verbs, but it seems like I don't.

Do not overwrite: I often find my work to have excessive wording. I don't necessarily do this to feel the joy of my fingers running over the keys like the book suggests.

Avoid the use of qualifiers: I also find myself doing this sometimes.

Use orthodox spelling: This is a no brainer.

Do not construct ackward adverbs: This is also a no brainer.

Avoid fancy words: While I do not generally use fancy words, I do find myself ending sentences with prepositions and having difficulties judging when to use 'that'.

Do not take shortcuts at the cost of clarity: This is a no brainer.

Avoid foreign languages: No brainer
