The sad thing is: our writing will never be as good as native English speakers
. But you have to try it anyway if you want to survive.

My experience is to assemble the figures first,that will help you to decide
what results you want to include in your paper.

And then it really doesn't matter which part you want to write first. I
probably would write " materials and methods", because that's the least
demanding part.

You will feel better once you finish some parts. And for the first draft,don't
care about the grammar so much, you can always do corrections later.

I usually worry about the references last, after I finish figure legends. If
you are very familiar with the papers you cited, you can go sentence by
sentence to insert the references in. I use ENDNOTE.

It is also helpful if you know what journal you are going to submit to so that
you can find papers of the similar type and at least have some idea about how
you would construct your own.

One thing is very very important for first time writer: it is very tempting to
copy other paper's sentences word by word, because they seem so perfect and
you feels unable to think of another way to put it. However, you should never
do that because small mistakes like that may cost your career.
