Use concrete rather than vague language.
Use active voice whenever possible. Active voice means the subject is performing the verb.
Avoid overusing there is, there are, it is, it was, and so on.
To avoid confusion, don't use two negatives to make a positive.
Use similar grammatical form when offering several ideas. This is called parallel construction.
If you start a sentence with an action, place the actor immediately after or you will have created the infamous dangling modifier.
