I totally hear you. I'm having the same problem. The best approach, I guess, is to put yourself in the shoes of a song writer or composer and write your own lyrics and then put chords and strumming patterns beneath the words or syllables, with a melody in mind of course. Obviously, that's very difficult. I think it's what all professional musicians do - but it could be some sort of a trade secret. Another way is to find a real pro who will teach you how to do this. Good luck. You can test a bunch of 'musicians' (there are tons of them on the Net and YouTube) and ask them what the strumming patterns are for a song such as "Eight Days A Week" by the Beatles, for example. There are two official strumming patterns that really work perfectly. The chances are, they won't know what they are, they won't be able to write them (with the letters D and U or the numbers 1&2& etc.).
