Reaching back to 2003, here’s a great article by Heather Grove on the essential elements of writing an adventure: Author’s Style Guide II: Adventure Writing [1].
And going back still further, to 1992, Writing for GURPS [2] covers the most basic of basics (and not just for GURPS). Whether as an intro or a refresher, both are worth a read.
