One Step Closer

I forgot to write here how much I appreciate the writing style of ethnographers and anthropologists. When I encounter this kind of writing, a flower of hope bloomed in my mind that the way of writting is not so long and unaccessible as I ever think.
This style is a wonderful option. It is academic style of writing as well as a literary. It is story but a real one. It is reality but writen in as a story, attractive, engaging and lovely...
Can I use this style of writing?
That small exercise in my Ethnography Methodology course showed me I am able to do.
I think it was the first time I felt I could put my reactions, emotions and experiences in a writing... I ever know that my writings are something mechanical and they are lack of any emotions... I mean that my writing has been "separated" from me... In this exercise, my writing was "me" and "I" wan my writing... What is the nature and sense of writing and the pleasure of writing, if it is not this?
