Well...there's some contention about that! Tunes come to me very easily if I have words to work with--part of being LI (Lyrically Impaired). Also, if I'm writing a parody of an existing song, it find it easier to write new words. But writing from your own mind requires lots of time to think of ideas. Writing purely musical tunes is often a bit harder...there are so many possible tunes floating through your mind, sometimes you really have to concentrate hard, and use your big net to try and fish out something good.
