Lightning textures are awesome, okay. But sometimes, you wanna do your own, yeah? It's pretty easy, basically four steps only.
One: fill a layer black or a dark color.
Two: with a brush trace lines that are all going on the same direction. (Note: in PS you can paint a point with the brush and then pressing the Shift key, it will do a straight line to the next point you paint). They must be white or a light color.
Three: use motion blur as you wish. Put the same direction as the lines are.
Four: use gaussian blur as you wish.
Done!
This is the basic way, but you can also play around with it, adding new layers and combining, with different amounts of blur and all. You can also try smudging if you want.
Hope I helped :)
