Script writing is an odd art, but one that's pretty easy once you've done it a couple of times.
As Jeshi mentioned, go look up general techniques on hypnosis. This could be reading a book on it, or my preferred way of reading/listening to already existing scripts to see how they do it(and consequently, figuring out what seems to work well and what doesn't).
Second is the tempo of the piece. Hypnosis works best at a steady tempo, where you don't really speed up, slow down, or take long dramatic pauses. While part of that is in the voicing of the file, you need to write it out well too. This takes a bit of practice, getting used to figuring out how long a line is not by the letters, but by how many syllables are in it.
Third is the tone. If you're writing a file for a submissive audience, then the wording and tone will be different than if you're writing a file for beginning trancers. If you have any experience with writing in general, this shouldn't be too hard, provided you make sure to decide what you want the tone to be ahead of time.
My advice: Look around. There's lots of good examples of different styles of script writing here on the site. Also, if you're writing this for your own use, try and figure out what styles work best for you. For example, EMG prefers a direct, repetitive style, while Calimore is more into NLP work and subtlety. One isn't necessarily better than the other, they work better for different people. Figure out what sort of things work well with you, and try to work some of that style into your pieces.
