"The New Oxford Guide to Writing" by Thomas Kane is the best book on writing that I have read.

brother how many threads have you made soliciting help?

you don't follow thru on anything. you started asking for beat making help years ago made multiple threads got guided and coached and you just wouldn't follow thru. then i see you posting a cover to an intro of beat making book in a thread recently in the tunnel when people are supposed to post what they been working on... like how could you possibly still be at step one it's been at least 2 years? stop playing with people man. you never serious...

if you want to accomplish anything you ask help for you gonna have to stick with something and work it out. simply reading more often would be a start. you constantly searching for tricks and shortcuts and it's why you are failing. you need to find some motivation and follow thru.

If you want to improve your grammar, read the New York Times, Wall Street Journal or any high class Newspaper like that, they use a larger vocabulary and advanced subject matter

Reading a "Grammar book" without a storyline attached to it makes it harder to learn Grammar

All of this
In addition to
The World Book Encyclopedia
Trying to cop the 2023 version
but it’s a stack and some change :beli:

Going to cop the 2021-22 version

Deadass.

Most people straight up forget about all the grammar terminology and just go off by instinct and experience.
Reading more will have you hit the :patrice:when you write something wrong and you'll find a way to correct it or write around it.

You gotta develop your skills on an instinctual level. Reading grammar books will help you understand what you take for granted, and they're very important, but only experience and practice will make them stick. @Rozay Oro

Truth be told, I do need to practice more myself. My writing is sloppy as shyt rn. :hhh:

I’m at a used book store. Can one of these early 2000s books do the trick?

Read the Times, WSJ, Washington Post daily.

Doesn’t even have to be the “hard” news sections either. Go for the business, science and culture/arts sections. Gotta be well read and well written first and foremost. Sentence structure is a big deal.

Anyone with good/great grammar will size you up in a fraction of a second and start (silently) judging on the strength of your grammar alone.
