Especially for those who work remotely, I (English is my third language) can't overstate the importance of deliberately working on writing skills. As remotees, we are often judged by our words, whether we like it or not. A couple of recommendations:<p>• Many here might've already come across it, but is always worth bringing up: William Zinsser's, <i>On Writing Well</i>. In which, he urges us to write with "clarity, simplicity, brevity and humanity"; tells us "the intangibles that produce good writing—confidence, enjoyment, intention, integrity"; reminds us to "remember that what you write is often the only change you'll get to present yourself to someone whose business or money or good will you need"; and much more.<p>• The equally excellent book, <i>Clear and Simple as the Truth</i>[2]. In this rigorous work, Thomas and Turner describe a style of writing that rests "on the assumptions that it is possible to think disinterestedly, to know the results of disinterested thought, and to present them without fundamental distortion. In this view, thought precedes writing". And the book also has a chapter that is aptly titled, <i>The Museum</i>, a "guided tour through examples of writing, both exquisite and execrable".<p>The second book, I suggest to slow-read it over a period of several months to digest it (and perhaps even do the exercises in the chapter titled <i>The Studio</i>, if you're a non-native speaker), not least because, as a certain Roman Stoic urged us, <i>to read attentively—not to be satisfied with "just getting the gist of it"</i>.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7881675.William_Zinsser" rel="nofollow">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7881675.William_Zinsse...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://press.princeton.edu/titles/9445.html" rel="nofollow">https://press.princeton.edu/titles/9445.html</a>
