Hey all,

One of my favorite books on prose is Style by Joseph Williams.  Its only downside is unless you are grounded in the basics of grammar, it has a high learning curve.  It was a grind for me.

Here's a link to an outstanding "cheat sheet" I found that combines Style and Elements into one, easy-to-read resource.  I also think it could serve as a great refresher to seasoned writers as well.

Great link, man.

Nothing kills a script faster than shitty grammar. Well, maybe multicolored text does. But still...

Wish more people used sites like this.
