How are you going to appeal to your readers with feelings? What makes it important to let your readers feel what you really feel inside, what you really aimed for and to what are you going to convey with them?
If these questions keep on haunting you, just to determine how to spice up your content, then you should be able to look for answers as soon as possible.

There are situations where a certain writer don’t know how to write what they really felt base on the topic for their readers. have you ever been a reader for someone’s work? It can be from someone whom you never meet or heard. But when you are reading his writings, you feel like you have been drawn by the writer’s point and message.
It feels like you are knew what the writer had thought and felt. That’s the essence of writing with feelings. It aims to convey a message on what’s on the mind of the writer. What’s great about it is that, when a writer feels something about the topic and he wanted to write it all down, then he can surely write anything as his mind keeps on working for great ideas about the topic he is going to write.
Let’s say you’re writing an argument that you can’t win with facts. Logic is stacked against you. Still, you want to put up a good fight and work through the most compelling contention you can concoct, beyond merely writing with flawless grammar (thanks to your English writing software).
How do you do it? You appeal to people’s feelings.
Ever seen a stupid action movie that made no sense when you piece it together, yet you came out of the movie theater feeling enthused anyway? Using feelings to manipulate your readers is exactly the same way. The idea is to sway them towards supporting your arguments by hooking their emotions, instead of their logical thought.
You can appeal to a higher power. A common resort in religion biased text, this involves invoking the “G” word to make your case, as in “There are no evil people, because God made us in his image and God is good.”
You can appeal to a collective audience. The idea is to use something that “unites” your audience, whatever that may be. Many Americans today, for instance, are easily accepting of the contention that anything is in a bad state “because of the recession,” almost as if the recession is the cause of all the world’s ills.
You can appeal to pity. In this approach, you make out your case by painting yourself as unduly persecuted or wronged, spurring people to feel pity. Many career criminals, for example, use stories of a bad childhood to induce pity among people.
You can appeal to authority. If a case is inarguable by means of logic, cite an authority that can bolster your claims, as in “There is no global warming, according to top scientists.” Same holds, of course, to its opposite argument that says, “Top scientists prove there is global warming.” Al Gore, by the way, doesn’t make that much of an authority, Nobel Prize or not.
