Tim Clare is a novelist and also writes about writing. He also happens to be very funny. I recommend his podcast Death of 1000 Cuts where he gives writing advice and sometimes reads and critiques the first 250 words of contributors' novels. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/death-of-1000-cuts/id1101278771 https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/death-of-1000-cuts/id1... Edit: One of the things he does really well is explaining the nuts and bolts "rules" of writing, like the Primacy/recency effect, the importance of what he calls "crunchy specificity", and lots of other stuff that will stay with you and help you make stylistic decisions in many different contexts.
