How can I express myself in academic papers?

Having written boring papers for years, I've decided to write stimulating papers as I entered my new school, MSPP. It is a formative struggle to keep the flavor my thoughts while utilizing styles of academic papers.

Images heal me.

Right now, I imagine a pot of beef stew. My viewpoint is zoomed onto a big chunk of melting potato. The potato has flavor. It is juicy.

This kind of images slowly give me a lift. I recover my warmth.

This is how my week starts.

Still thinking about a paper. I have some ideas, but I cannot integrate those in simple sentences.
