When you're writing out scales, you always use the next sequential letter. So if you wrote A and needed to write a half step away from it, it would be a Bb. That's why some scales have double sharps or double flats, to keep the scale in order. That way when you look at it on a staff it goes up the staff the same way a C scale would (but starting at a different spot).
