Narrative:
I had a tail compartment temp high light come on and made an immediate return to the airport and landed overweight. After landing I wrote up the tail compartment temp high light and included in the same write-up the information on the overweight landing.I have just been made aware this is not the procedure that maintenance prefers; and I should have made two separate write-ups; one for the tail compartment temp high and another for the overweight landing.
