Dewd get yourself one of those mini notebook, and just write down cool ideas as they come to you. Remember you don't have to write the complete song in one sitting. When anyone tries, a few good lines come out then it turns to crap. Once bad lines start pooping out: STOP, continue when you get another good idea. You also don't have to write one song at a time, categorize different ideas into different songs. As you complete them you'll notice you have 10 different songs in the time it took you (busting your butt) writting one. If your going to put it too music remember all you need is one good chorus, and one good verse. The rest you can work in as your working and finishing the music. This is a good idea cause alot of the time while your writting the music, lyrical ideas pop up. Don't fustrate yourself, work leisurely and have fun. If not you'll just learn to hate it. And oh yeah, write with feeling, man. :D
