I am a similar Engineer type, and I have recently found out about pretty simple writing tools. Or, at least people told me they were elementary.

The texture of your content is very important, and there are elements beyond the vocabulary that make writing more beautiful. Key components of the "texture" I believe you are looking for include the variance of grammatical structure and eventually a sense of suspense and reveal.

Richard Muller speaks of these changes you can make, also from the point of view of a physicist.
