Good for you! That's money well spent! Just buy two more books, and you will be on your way.

Rudolf Flesch's The Classic Guide to Better Writing.
--Previous title: A New Guide to Better Writing ( $1.00).
--The title was changed for the 50th Edition!
--At ABEbooks.com, the 50th edition sells for $7.76.

William L. Zinsser's On Writing Well.
--Here's another classic with 25 editions.
--The first editions had two parts in the book.
--Newer editions have four parts.
--I recommend you get a newer edition! It's better!

If you guys are not familiar with Zinsser's book, read some of the 83 customer reviews at this Amazon.com link...

I had to add this link. Why? Well, it is an excellent treatise on the art of writing. Curiously, it comes from the inside of a monastery.

The Apostolate of Writing...
--Writing tips from Brother Craig.
--It is excellent, and it's only four pages long.
--The good part starts on page two.
--And yes, it's really from a Catholic Monastery.

Four pages long my pimply arse. I'll read it at some point I suppose.
(Yes, it really is four pages long, four schwarzenegger size pages long.)

Hey, watch your language! You are in a monastery devoted to God!

Writer's quotes...
The writer's quotes are very, very interesting also. Check them out (if you have time, of course).

I'd like to add Grammercheck.com to the list. I write quite a bit and have used it extensively. And since it's online you don't have to install anything.

I admire your want of expanding command of the English language. It can be a fun and wonderful skill to excel at.

I used to train chat bots, still have a couple online, and had mind files available for different bots that gave them a special area of interest or personality with vocabularies of 1000 words or better.
