I highly recommend Point Made: How to Write Like the Nation's Top Advocates for law students and new attorneys. My briefs are objectively better because of this book. Cheers!
Like most of us, I struggled with transitioning from non-legal, academic writing to legal writing. This book definitely helped me become a much better legal writer and I feel will assist you here. I refer to it regularly and it will be the first book to go in my office this fall (Appellate Practice).

While other responses here are correct in that some feedback from professors is definitely stylistic and shouldn't be treated like objective truth, it sounds like your analysis lacks advocacy which does require some creativity. Being able to concede a "bad fact" but place it in a context supporting your legal point is a skill which will strengthen your overall brief.
