How to make a habit

Blogging seems so privately public and narcissitic. Am I writing just for myself, or for the world? Any why would anyone want to read what I write? What is writing? An exercise for the brain or the soul?
Writing helps me to consolidate the clutter in my thoughts. The amount of random thoughts,worries, ideas, plans all can overwhelm my ability to form an opinion or plan of action. I use writing as a tool for organizing and for finding the elusive answers to questions yet formed.
An exercise? A tool? What is writing?

Today is the beginning!

I have always been alittle ahead of the curve in terms of technology. We had personel computers in the 80's, the internet in the early 90's, and I can't imagine a life without "Googling". But, just in the last month, I have created a MySpace page, subscribed to a couple of forums and, tonight, I created my blog page.
It's not that I don't have enough to do. Life is pretty damn chaotic these days. But, I have always wanted to write. To communicate with other people about the crazy thoughts that sometimes whirl around in my head.
So tonight is the beginning. We will see how much I will use it.
