FWIW, the easiest way, in my opinion, to write songs and melodies is to sit down with your instrument and try to play something you love by ear. If you're at all competent and have a rudimentary grasp of scales, you'll play something that's in the ballpark, but not exactly right. Then the little light bulb goes off and you take it off in your own direction.

This is the best answer so far. I'd like to point out, though, that your ability to pick up what key the song is in is paramount. Once you know what key you are playing, you should be able to pick out the melody fairly easily.
