Thanks for your comment ! If you want to do it, just pick a language and start to write.

Writing is not easy but it becomes easier if you transform it into a habit.

In my experience I forced myself to write regularly like every day of the week. I usually worked one hour approximately by session.

By doing so you will see that you will achieve a lot.

Do not force youtself to write for one entire day then do nothing for a week.

Concerning the topics to cover I will recommand using a mind map to build the table of content. This is interesting because you can drag and drop sections easilly.

I would suggest first to define your targeted audience. Having this audience you can begin building the plan.

My approach was to teach notions progressively. Sometime I needed to rework the sections order. Use an editor that allow you to do that easilly like Lyx (love it).

Students generally love rituals and adding some introduction ritual/section and conclusion section is a plus.

Hope those recommendations will help you :)

Writing something is really a great way to make sure you understand something !

Good luck
