Normally I go for starting a chorus... because it's the most simple portion in the track, but one of the most important.

Then, just listen to the beat and write whatever comes to your head at a given point. You don't necessarily have to write the bars in order from first to last (16), the first bars I write down normally go in the middle of my first verse or a few bars after the first one.

Like say you got 16 bars to write. The first thing you write might not be your opening bars. At least for me it rarely is. I'm used to makin a lil' "entrance" to the first bar instead of just waiting for the beat to come in.
