One way to make your writing come alive is to change the order you present your information.If your article or book chapter is already written, look at what comes first, what comes in the middle, and what comes last. Is it written chronologically or temporally? Chronological order works well for anecdotes, short pieces of writing. But for other kinds of material it can be monotonous. Instead, try putting your information in order of importance.  If you’ve written your story going from the specific to the general, then try going from the general to the specific. This makes for a more interesting read.

Enjoy!
