I wish to recommend you two authors to concentrate on for the next 12 months.

Edgar Allen Poe.
Ernest Hemmingway.

Hemmingway can be considered the beginning of modern journalistic style. Descriptive to the point. Phrases and sentences of high value functionality.

Whereas, Poe builds his sentences into rhythms and occasional crescendos.

And then, use Standback's recommendation to summarise your stories into precis.
