In order to get a grasp on what chords to use, its a good idea to study the genre of music that you're interested in writing. Try and break down songs into chords, rhythms etc, and figure out why they sound the way they do. It's a long job, it's a brain taxing job, but it'll make you a better musician, and it'll probably help to make sense of what you end up writing.

What genre of music do you want to write?
