how do you usually write.

Sure. Recording the jamming with piano/vocal and sometimes a rythm from my Alesis SR-16 drum machine witch is a great tool for songwriting/composing on the fly.

just curious if any of you record the song while in the working progress to help diagnose any necessary changes, .. i experimented with recording the basic instrumental of a song and then playing it while writing lyrics, it seemed to help me keep everything contained to what would fit.

most definitely. there's nothing worse than getting a musical idea/melody in your head and forgetting it. getting it recorded (even if its you whistling the melody) will help you put the whole song together effectively, and change it whilst youre creating it.
