Aside from the software, I'll give you some advice: stick with a song when you're working on it.
For me, writing music on the computer and just coming up with stuff is the worst. I send myself off in so many directions. If I find a cool tone and play something, and then come up with something else over that, maybe that will turn into two songs, and so on from there.
I've always been more of a "sit down with a guitar and ideas for lyrics and a melody" kind of songwriter. I'm very proficient at just sitting down and figuring out some verse and chorus ideas and determining the focus of a song. When I sit down at the computer, even to just flesh that idea out, it's so easy to get lost... how should the drums be? what about synth stuff? what about the second guitar part? etc. etc.
STAY FOCUSED, but at the same time, when you have new gear it's a fun free-for-all of just figuring it out. I'm still learning a lot about Logic, I just need to get more dedicated to it. I've got so many ideas for music that I just need to improve my skills for.
