Simon Peyton-Jones expands on the GP's 1st point – that you don't afterwards write up your 'research' (i.e. anything you are thinking about/learning/doing etc), but before, during, after - the writing guides, informs, directs what you learn, every step of the way: How to Write a Great Research Paper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK51E3gHENc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK51E3gHENc Most of that applies to all kinds of non-fiction writing I think.
