To myself vs for myslef

Hi.

I am sorry I haven’t written for so long. My work keeps me so busy, that I never have a minute to/for myself. I am writing to invite you to my wedding.

Both correct?

Why is 'for' incorrect in that context?

How about the following?

I have great news for you.
I have great news to you.

The use of "to" is idiomatic in the expression; the use of "for" isn't.
