I also like the challenge of "shoehorning" prewritten words into a prewritten melody. This really expands your experience with phrasing. You have to find a melody that matches the words somewhat. I did this method a few times working with a lyricist.

I like variety and spontaneity. Some songs start out instrumentally and I start humming along, trying to get a word or phrase going, then build on it.
