I didn't want to write today

I didn't want to do it, but if I want to improve I should. Today was a busy day. I was thinking about my thesis, its structure and arguments. Only the best arguments should be included. But choosing is a complex task; and writing too.

I didn't want to write today

I didn't want to do it, but if I want to improve I should.

Today was a busy day.

I was thinking about my thesis, its structure and arguments.

This looks like a list (a, b and c), in which case for maintaining parallel structure, you'd want to add "its" in front of "arguments." If you mean to be clarifying "thesis" by breaking it down into those two sub-parts, I'd recommend using an em dash or something ("thesis—its structure . . .").

Only the best arguments should be included.

But choosing is a complex task;, and writing is too.

You can only use a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. (Well, you can use it in complex lists, but that's rare.)
