I struggled learning to use FreeBSD, becoming a beta tester for PC-BSD in 2005,thinking the FreeBSD Handbook was not applicable, and taught myself to use ports.
After having moved to vanilla FreeBSD, in 2017 I wrote a Beginners Tutorial on Building a FreeBSD Desktop from Scratch using ports for 3rd party applications with a target audience of a Windows user that had never used the command line so the blood, sweat and tear shed by me as a n00b need not be shed twice.
I had previous experience writing Task Analysts for mundane things like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as Home Manager of Group Homes for Developmentally Disabled Individuals that spelled out every step of the process in excruciating detail, down to which was the dominate hand.
Not for the clients. They couldn't make a pbj much less read a Task Analysis. For staff so they would teach the skill in a consistent manner and this is the format I used writing the Tutorial.
It did very well, with over 100,000 views of it posted in the FreeBSD forums and I hosted it on my website and promoted it on my own dime without any mention of it existing from the FreeBSD Project or Foundation, though it was featured twice in freebsdnews.com and help the top 5 spots in a Google Search till I took it offline in 2021.
This after informing Admin the FreeBSD forums no longer reflected my values and if they would be so kind as to delete that Tutorial and another I wrote I would disappear with them. Instead they chose to delete mtyaccount and name as Author of the Tutorials. That constitutes Copyright Infringement, Google agreed and filed a notice of DMCA Copyright Complaint on both counts:

Do I think Debian Administrative Staff would do such a thing? No I do not, but I have been surprised before anf this just a heads-up on the pitfalls of Authorship.. Did it do any good or have any impact on the situation? No it did not, and things unchanged since 2021.
With the exception of ab unexpected rebound from a rare, progressive brain disease called Hepatic Encephalopathy they were aware of that was robbing me of all my skills and abilities to the point I had almost lost my ability to write completely at that point. I am much better now, thank you.
I put my site back up a couple days ago, will be posting all relevant documentation, the legal argument showing it is covered under Copyright Law and am now in the process of securing a lawyer that works with Copyright Law to file suit against the FreeBSD Project and Foundation in US Federal Court.
How Copyright Infringement, BSD License and GNU mesh together I am still trying to figure out. But a FreeBSD CoC that considers virtual hugs offensive and turns a blind eye to Copyright Infringement by FreeBSD Admin something I will provide documentation of on my site.
I can't help you with your writing but you can see what a Task Analysis looks like on my site. Good luck.
