At least part of how, or one way to do it would be to write from the "third person" perspective and style in writing.

What is quoted below, is from the following site. Writing Style First Second Third Person (http://www.themfactor.com.au/Articles/Writing-Style-First-Second-Third-Person.htm)


The point of view or person you choose for your writing helps create your tone and perspective.

•First person writing uses 'I' and 'we'. 'I' writing is personal, but 'we' is often used collectively to refer to an organisation or group.

•With second person writing, you talk directly to your reader using 'you' language. The second person is used extensively in marketing material and also to provide information.

•Third person writing uses 'he', 'she', 'it' and 'they'. It is more formal than the first and second person and is often used in reports, policies and scholarly texts.

Thanks!
