Do you have any writing tips and tricks?

Here’s one tip. Catch that “t” and add it to “here” for “there ya go.”

I use “they” whenever I refer to anyone I’m unsure about the gender. It’s neater than “he/she”.

^^ “They” is plural and “s/he’ is singular in formal and elegant. English prose.

My only “tip” is to do it more, review it more, and slow down before you hit the “send” button. The flip side of that is to read good writing as often as you can find it and find the time. Read critically to determine why it’s good; don’t just take someone else’s word for it. Don’t use autocorrect for grammar or spelling, but do turn on the settings in your software that at least flag misspelled words and bad grammar, so you at least have a chance to see them and to look up (and with repetition, one hopes “remember”) the spelling rules that apply.

Singular they has been standard English for centuries and appears in the works of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Austen, Thackery, and even the King James Bible.

Edit, edit edit. Write out what you want to stay. then go through it and cut out all the extra stuff. Then do it again, and again.

And use the active voice. Stay away from the passive voice.

One can read The Elements of Style by Strunk and White in about half an hour. Get you down copy, read through it a lot.
