for words I like to go get a coffee and put some whiskey in it and then go for walks and write stuff on my phone
For me, I'm talking about writing actual songs - words and music.
I can't speak for everyone else.
This makes a BIG difference.
I don't/can't sing so I rarely write music with lyrics in mind.
That being said, the dude that sings in the band never seems to have trouble finding room in my songs for words.
Also, "actual songs" can be written without words.
Just ask any dude with a powdered wig and a piano.
You could also ask Dylan Carlson.
