- Elements of Style - standard college textbook for writing well. The stuff written in this book is rehashed everywhere. Implement the basics and you'll instantly become a better writer.
- Presentation Zen - a little dated but the ideas stand. How to present things in a digestible way (I didn't do this enough in this talk!)
- Writing lecture - really rich content. Probably needs watched a few times to let it all sink in
- Google style guide for technical docs
- CMOS for more generic writing
- Hemingway app to identify problematic sentences.
I'm not a fanboy I promise. There are quite a few Vim plugins for writing. I'm not going to list them all here but I do like goyo. On a related note, junegunn has some other awesome plugins so check those out as well.
