Write, Right?

Since this whole blogging thing is pretty new to me, I often sit at the computer and stare at the screen wondering what I should write.  I tend to start writing about something that happened in my life, but then I think that it is too mundane, or perhaps to personal to share.  I really have lots of subject matter and plenty to say, but I guess I am censoring myself.  I wonder why this is such a struggle?

My life is pretty captivating!  First and foremost, I have a gorgeous new wife...we live on the water where I wake to an inspirational scene every morning, and I have great lighting and space to do my work.  I have been very fortunate and blessed...traveled to lots of beautiful places, met some very interesting people, and I have a list of great friends.  I am also interested in many different activities...music, karate, art, reading, and.............WRITING.  So I just wonder why it is that I am trying this blogging thing and not actually writing that novel that I had always planned on?!?  I guess I just don't want to give up an opportunity to write when it is something that I should have been doing all along.  Finally, it seems, I am going to get to a disciplined place in my life where I write every day.  Shouldn't I be using this precious time to crank out some short stories or a great horror novel?  I'm asking you, my friends...what do you think?
