I highly recommend picking up a book in writing and style. I enjoyed Dreyer's English (Strunk & White, while commonly recommended, is a little antiquated). There are so many avoidable mistakes like subject-verb agreement, attaching adjectives to the wrong noun ("A violent, intense, affair, Stephen King has written another fantastic novel" -> Stephen King is a violent, intense affair), and so on. The classic English teacher advice is also very much worth following, such as reading aloud and creating an outline. And of course, reading is a fantastic way to improve your writing. There are examples of great writing in any genre or format, but I would say that fiction and long-form journalism are usually quite good, while non-fiction books and blog posts tend to be more hit or miss. Sometimes you need to read a little James Baldwin to remember that writing can be an art form and not just a perfunctory means towards an end.
