"Skip
the preface and get some words down. Once you have something written,
you can go back and analyze and edit it."

McHoes, co-author of Understanding Operating Systems, winner
of a 2006 McGuffey Award:
"Don't
start with chapter one. Start with the chapter you feel the most comfortable
with. If possible, delay writing chapter one until you're almost done
with the project so you know exactly what you're introducing in chapter
one."
