There is no tried and testing formula for me. I just rely on those moments of inspiration in life.
So if a decent idea for a melody pops into my head I'll commit that to a recording as quickly as possible and then work on putting the lyrics to it. Likewise with lyrics that flow together I'll commit those to paper and later work on the music.
What method have you found works best for you?
