35 Common Writing Style Mistakes

https://www.scriptreaderpro.com/writing-style-mistakes/ This Script Reader Pro article from 2017 was recently republished. I hadn't seen it before, so forgive me if it's already done the rounds here, but I think it's a great reference resource for screenwriters. Unlike certain screenwriting 'rules', which most of us deride, I think these are useful tips for improving your writing style. For example:

- don't summarize your actions

- watch out for missing hyphens (guilty!)

- unnecessary repetition.

And many more. 

Are there any tips you think the author missed?
