Something that works for me is to start really simple. It can be a simple melody, rythm or chord progression. Then i just start filling up the gaps. If you wanna do many voices doing different things at all time, like in a JS Bach way or an orchestra, i would just recomend to follow the main voice wherever it takes place, for example if in some part of the song the bass is the main one don't try to make the high voice too complex in a way that dosen't mix well with the main voice. It would definately help to know a lot of harmony and rtyhm.
