How to write music
How I did it: Well, I'm not sure how well it would work for a non-musician or new musician that wants to write a random song but... I just sing the notes to myself and use a keyboard to test it then put it on manuscript paper or programs like Finale. I've created almost complete scores, but they're lacking percussion. I still consider this a success.
Note: It doesn't necessarily take only seven days or over four months. It depends on how much time you put into it in a day. It could even take a single day if you work all day depending, but it's never truly complete until a band/orchestra does some trial and error.
Lessons & tips: Learn how to play percussion instruments. If you want a full score then you better know how to write it.
Resources: Being a dedicated musician and clinics. You learn a lot in clinics and the pros always talk about composition.
