I gave Elements of Style a go once, but honestly I've never been a fan of "how to write" type of books. I just find it hard to translate the advice into actual writing, so I wind up getting frustrated and feel like I've wasted my time.

Honestly, the old cliche "the best writers are readers" thing is honestly how I feel like I ended up improving the most. I mean, it helps that I've always been someone who reads a lot for fun, but when I started getting really serious about improving my writing I also began to really think about what I liked and what I disliked about different books and short stories I read. I won't say that reading a bunch is the easiest or most effective way of improving your writing, but it worked for me. Especially those massive short story collections of like "Best Science Fiction Short Stories of X Year" - it's a great way to get a bunch of different styles and tones that are considered really good and start to develop an actual preference of your own.
