Writer's Block

For those of you who have read my previous postings, you know that on New Year’s Eve, I resolved to start the writing of a novel. Needless to say, it is an exciting project to me, I think about it night and day. Everything is going fine, save perhaps for the fact that I have not yet be able to write down a word. My mind goes blank. As a result, not only do I not feel like an amazing writer in the making, but I feel like a complete disappointment. And each day that goes by without my typing out a few words on the screen, stresses me further. My unexpected fizzle is now encroaching upon my self-confidence. I need your help before I start doubting my ability to write altogether.

How do I get pass that stage?
