I'd say don't. If your natural thought processes are as black-and-white as a line drawing of a plan view of a P-38 Lightning and your writing as concise, then don't mess about trying to dilute your unadorned thoughts with the useless ornaments of prose and analogy. For an example of a writer who did not indulge in much description nor fluffy character development, try looking at the first "Foundation" book by I.Asimov. His career is proof that plainspeak can ascend to literary acclaim, so trying to emulate a romantic poet is unnecessary.

If your thought processes really were "beige" then you'd probably be in a customer service team, and not in engineering.
