The best answer to questions of this kind is to read brilliant examples of the technique from great writers. In this case the preeminent example is probably Joseph Conrad's _Heart of Darkness_ (the book on which _Apocalypse Now_ was based). Technically, the method here is storytelling (outloud to a group of sailors) rather than writing, but the principle of the frame is the same.
