My problem is usually that often do imagine components of a song in my head, yet I'm usually up past my eyeballs in work.
That happens painfully often!
Later, I try to remember it and it's gone. I can sit at the keyboard for a while, play a few chords or perhaps pick a few notes on the guitar, but it never comes back.
Well, I can often recall it, but it never sounds as good as did when I though of it at an inconvienint moment...
That is why home studios are good, as soon as an idea come, get it recorded ASAP...
Probably a good reason not to buy another instrument :-/

I always plan my peice in painful detail, before I even go near a keyboard/sequencer/sampler... just pen and paper.
If you know where you want to get to, it's much easier to achieve. Don't set your sights to high, often you'll want to write some powerful emotional peice with a very specific message... this is destined to failure unless you've got 10years of experience under your belt. Just choose a topic that interests you, then try to emulate a song you like... once you get experience you can push yourself a bit...
