Writing can be dissected analytically but there is always a component of emotional appeal that makes writing connect. One of the best examples I can think of is the story of Sugru: http://sugru.com/story http://sugru.com/story To practice writing with emotional appeal, I suggest you practice public speaking. For instance, go to a public forum like a lecture or zoning board meeting where there is a formal Q&A period (with a microphone set up). Listen to the discussion/lecture and wait in line for the mic and attempt to articulate an argument/point of view that is short and draws on a personal story and makes a point. I also recommend Stephen King's "On Writing" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Writing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Writing Good luck!
