I would first learn chords and strumming,then go to playing your songs. You can write songs,and still not know how to play,lots of people do that.But if you want to play the songs that you wrote,you have to be able to play chords.To get you started,learn these chords first,G,C.D.and E minor. With these chords and a capo,you can play endless songs.Listen to some of your favorite artist to get a feel of what kind of writing style you want to write after.

first, learn the guitar. learn the chords and learn to switch proficiently between them. thats very important to start.

to learn to write songs; there is nothing keeping you from writing the lyrics out now. to be able to write the chord structure for the song - be prepared to learn some theory. learn the major scale and how it works. learn how chord structures are built off the scale (essentially built of off the key that it is in), and whatnot. ask questions. if your not sure, ask. i'm not sure what you know musically, so i won't post a whole lot now until i know how much you know.
