Before you write, read, as much as you can. Ideas will come to you as you do it. Look closely at how other authors build the text, present data, link ideas. Reading other works will be a great help in writing your own.
Plan your writing. Write down the concepts you need to address and put them in order before you start writing.
Write from the general to the specific. A theoretical framework should place the reader in the state of the art and justify the aims of the study.
One idea should lead to the next. The text should be coherent, flowing. The ideas must be connected. The discourse must make sense. The order of ideas is essential.
You are telling a story, try to make the reader understand where you are starting from, and where you are going.
Write for the reader. Don't take for granted what they know, explain what you want to say. Don't start ideas that you are not going to continue. Don't generate more questions than answers.
Describe the key concepts, explain their importance and present data from previous research in a way that is consistent with the aims and shows the need for your work.
If you don't know how to start or how to continue, write. Ideas, words, sentences, anything. Little by little they will take shape. You will need several drafts. Don't despair, you'll get there, give yourself time.
But if you are blocked, stay away from the text for a few days, stop thinking about it. Rest and clear your head. Frustration does not lead to creativity, positive emotions do. You need to feel good to write properly. Do whatever helps you to be in a good mood.
Save the different versions of your work. Name the file and always use the same name, but list the different versions. Start with zero, and use as many numbers as you need. That way you will know that the last number is the most recent version.
Create an additional document in which you include references you are using. They don't need to be perfect. Every time you use an in-text citation, write down its reference. Do not delete any of them, even if the text changes. Leave the proofreading to the end.
You can also use a reference manager such as Mendeley or Zotero, but always check them because they are likely to contain errors.
When you have a draft, ask someone who is not an expert on the subject to read it and point out what they don't understand or what is not well explained.
And finally, be humble. All studies have limitations and there may be advances in your field that you don't yet know about.
