Three ideas for professional blogging

Here are three semi-decent ideas I've had for starting blogs and developing an online niche and persona. Any opinions anyone?

Gumption Train: Less a productivity blog, and more a coming of age story. I'm not very good at getting stuff done. But I'd like to be. This idea would combine sort of a productivity blog and a personal journal, with frequent invites and group activities for readers to take part.

Freyq: A monsters blog. News, notes, jokes, and whatnot about monsters and monster-related issues. More of the fun kind of monster than the scary kind, but we'd do scary too. This also ties in to selling my own handmade monsters, and resides at what I think is a rich intersection between crafters and geeks.

Games: I don't have a good hook for this, I just really like games, and would like to be professionally involved in them again, even peripherally. I don't have a voice or a good niche audience in mind for this. Maybe an aspirational thing for people trying to get into games as pros?

Let's keep thinking about this. You and I could probably put this together... AND make our game purchases tax deductible! Huzzah!
